Enforce Strong Password Policies

Security starts with strong authentication, and CompleteFTP empowers administrators to enforce robust password policies for non-Windows users. This helps protect against unauthorized access and ensures compliance with organizational security standards.

Customizable Password Requirements

CompleteFTP allows you to define various password complexity requirements, including:

• Minimum Length: Set a minimum number of characters for passwords.
• Mixed Case: Require both uppercase and lowercase letters.
• Digits: Mandate the inclusion of numeric characters.
• Special Characters: Enforce the use of symbols.
• Password Expiry: Configure passwords to expire after a set number of days, prompting users to create new ones.
• Forced Password Changes: Require users to change their password upon next login.

User Convenience and Security

For users who have forgotten their password, CompleteFTP (Professional and Enterprise MFT editions) offers a secure Forgot/Reset Password feature for web-based logins (HTTP/HTTPS). This allows users to regain access to their accounts without administrative intervention, provided their email address is registered and the feature is enabled.
