Setting your password policy

Setting your password policy in the admin portal will automatically update the password check UI throughout Canvas.

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.
