  • Password History: prevents Staff members from reusing a set number of passwords they used recently.
  • Maximum Password Age: sets passwords to expire after a set number of days, forcing Staff members to change their passwords.
  • Account Lockout Threshold: automatically locks out Staff members after several failed login attempts.
