Set a Password Policy for Your Organization

You can configure a password policy for access to your Juniper Mist™ portal.
Note:

Be sure to set the password policy to meet your organization's policy standard.

  1. From the left menu, select Organization > Admin > Settings.
  2. In the Password Policy section, select Enabled.
  3. Enter the number of characters that you want to require.
  4. (Optional) Enable additional settings:

    • Require special characters—Users must include special characters in their passwords.

    • Two factor authentication—After users log in for the first time, Juniper Mist prompts them to set up two-factor authentication. From then on, they'll need to enter login credentials and a code from their authenticator app. Juniper Mist allows any choice of an authenticator app.

    In this example, the password policy requires 12 characters, including special characters.

    Example - Password Policy options with selections for Enabled, Require passwords of at least 12 characters, and Require special characters
  5. Click Save.

After users register and validate their accounts, Mist prompts them to create a password that meets all the requirements. If you enabled two-factor authentication, Juniper Mist redirects them to the Account Settings page, where they must set up two-factor authentication for their account.

Note:

As an administrator, you might want to share the two-factor setup instructions with your users for quick reference. For more information, see Account Settings.
