Setting strong password policies helps protect customer accounts from unauthorized access. Plesk lets you configure password requirements at the service plan level.

### Configuring Password Policies

1. Log in to **Plesk**.
2. Go to **Tools & Settings** → **Security Policy**.
3. Configure the password settings:
   - **Minimum password length:** Set a minimum (e.g., 8 characters).
   - **Password strength:** Set a minimum strength level (e.g., Strong).
   - **Password complexity:** Require uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters.
4. Click **OK** to save.

### Important Notes

- Password policies apply to new passwords and password changes.
- Stronger policies improve security but may frustrate customers who prefer simple passwords.
- Communicate password requirements to your customers.

### Troubleshooting

**"Security Policy" option is not visible:**

- Your hosting provider manages security policies at the server level. Contact support.

**Customer cannot set a password that meets requirements:**

- Suggest using the password generator in Plesk.
- Consider relaxing requirements if customers frequently report issues.
