Release 8.2.2


Contents:

   

By default, the Designer Cloud® application enforces very few requirements on password length, capitalization, or special characters. Users who are setting or resetting their passwords are permitted to create a password of one character in length with no additional requirements.

NOTE: When passwords are set or reset, the platform does perform an assessment of the quality of the password and reports it to the user before saving. For more information, see User Profile Page.


Before you permit users to create accounts, you should review the password requirements for your enterprise and, where needed, apply them to the Designer Cloud application.
