# Setting your password policy

{% hint style="info" %}
Setting your password policy in the admin portal will automatically update the password check UI throughout Canvas. 
{% endhint %}

The Canvas template includes a built-in password check UI during the signup flow and anywhere the user is required to reset their password. By default the password policy is set to require 5 total characters and at least 1 number.

You can manage the requirements for your password policy directly from the Admin portal of your application. From the left menu click on Settings > Password policy. 

There are four policies that can be set:

* **Password minimum length** - This sets the total characters that are required for the password to be valid.
* **Require numbers** (optional) - If checked you must set the total numbers required in the input to the right. 
* **Require special characters** (optional) - If checked you must set the total special characters required in the input to the right. Characters that qualify as special characters for this rule are "**(**", "**)**", "**!**", "**@**", "**#**", "**$**", "**%**", "**^**", "**&**", and "**\***".
* **Require uppercase letters** (optional) - If checked you must set the total special characters required in the input to the right.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This is a Canvas feature and it does not utilize Bubble's built-in password policy feature. To use this in conjunction with Bubble's built-in password policy, in the Bubble editor go to Settings > General and set your password policy there as well. If you do update your Bubble password policy, please ensure that your Canvas password policy matches your Bubble password requirements. This will ensure the password policy check UI in throughout your app is up to date.
