Overview

Use the password settings to alter requirements for:

  • Password strength

  • Password history

  • Password expiration

Password strength policy settings

Use password strength settings to ensure that passwords meet minimum strength requirements. After password strength settings are turned on, passwords can't contain the user’s first name, last name, or email address. Depending on which password strength you choose (Fair, Good, or Strong) users’ passwords will have to meet additional requirements related to password length and character sets used. The password setting selected affects all regular and external users as well as collaborators.

To change password strength settings:

  1. Click your profile image 1 from the sidebar.

  2. Select Settings 2 from the dropdown menu.

Note

Changing these settings in one account will affect all other accounts of which a user is a member, provided that they use the same primary email. Passwords for all accounts will have the same strength settings.

How users are affected

Users whose passwords don't meet the new settings will need to change their passwords the next time they attempt to log in or, if they're currently logged in, will be logged out of Wrike and prompted to change their password. When users create a password (or change their existing password), it must meet the specified policy settings.

Password history policy settings

Use password history settings to specify how often users can reuse their passwords. Adjust settings so that new passwords must be different from the previous three, five, or 10 passwords. The password setting selected affects all regular and external users as well as collaborators.

To change password history settings:

  1. Click your profile image 1 from the sidebar.

  2. Select Settings 2 from the dropdown menu.

How users are affected

Password history settings are enforced the next time a user changes their existing password and works retroactively. If a user has used their current password more than the accepted number of times, they'll be prompted to change it the next time they log in.

Password expiration policy settings

You can require users to change their passwords every 30, 60, or 90 days. The password setting selected affects all regular and external users as well as collaborators.

To change password expiration settings:

Wrike will require users to change their passwords once the specified number of days has passed.

  1. Click your profile image 1 from the sidebar.

  2. Select Settings 2 from the dropdown menu.
