Selecting the setup link will take the user to their Account Settings page so that they can enable Two Factor Authentication. They will be prevented from accessing any other part of infoodle until this setup is completed.

Enforce Minimum Password Length

When it comes to login security, a longer password is typically more secure that a shorter one. This setting can be used to specify the minimum number of characters that are required when a user chooses a password.

In most environments, an eight-character password is recommended because it's long enough to provide adequate security and still short enough for users to easily remember.

Other commonly recommended characteristics for creating strong passwords are:

  • Using a mixture of both uppercase and lowercase letters
  • Using both letters and numbers
  • Including at least one special character, e.g., ! @ # ?
