The purpose of the High Security Passwords feature is for compliance with credit card company rules for password management. This feature allows you set up passwords that expire after a certain time frame, and lock out users after a given number of failed login attempts. It also imposes rules on a password's length and type of characters used.
There are certain settings that control the High Security Passwords feature; they are shown in the table below. These settings cannot be changed at this time.
