Set password policies

Last update:
Aug 21, 2026
The Password tab in the Aikyam Identity Console enables you to assign password policies that meet your organization's specific needs. The default password policy set in the identity console follows industry best practices.
When an application is created, it automatically enforces the default password policy. If Use Default is enabled, tenant-level default policy settings are enforced. You can toggle this default policy off and configure it according to your requirements.
