Setup > Security System > Company Options Screen > Minimum Length of Password (5-40)

Enter the minimum password (security code) length for your institution’s default, a minimum of 5 and maximum of 40. If employees attempt to set passwords (security codes) with fewer characters than the minimum you specify in this field, they will receive the following error: "PASSWORD IS NOT LONG ENOUGH OR INVALID SPACES IN PASSWORD."

User-Selected Security Code

On the day security codes are forced to change, employees will log on to the system as normal and enter their old security codes. The computer will then ask them to enter a new security code (twice). Security codes can be changed only after the correct current security code has been entered.

The system keeps track of the last six security codes for each user name. You cannot reuse a previously used security code until at least six new security codes have been used. On the seventh time, you are allowed to reuse the old security code.

If at any time you want to change your security number, log on as you normally would. Enter all of the information you normally would as you sign on, except click the Change Security Code box. The system will display a dialog box asking you for the new security code.

When changing a security code, the system requires the user to enter the code twice. The reason for this is to verify that the user did in fact enter the number he or she wanted. One typo could cause a lot of confusion.
