| Feature | Description | Related topics |
|-|-|-|
| Log in and log out controls | Control several dimensions of the log in and log out process for users, such as specifying a landing page that the user sees upon login and control how users log out. | * [Define login scenarios](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Uf0In54X0uB1UD3Jk1pYIQ "You can direct all users to the same page after login.") * [Configure the logout confirmation prompt](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/~o83SIBJMK3cwQysVEbPnw "You can enable a logout confirmation prompt to prevent users from inadvertently logging themselves out.") * [Installation exits](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Y~PET4WXyE13WH1knx1gNQ "Installation exits are customizations that exit from Java to call a script before returning back to Java.") * [Specify lockout for failed login attempts](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/pJIJzjDPNgOo3UggbOWyiQ "The system provides inactive script actions that enable you to specify the number of failed login attempts before a user account is locked and to reset the count after a successful login.") {#exploring-login-and-authenication-security__ul_mvp_ylz_k1b} |
| Authentication security | Control the password reset process and features like the Remember Me option. You can also use IP address-based controls for access to the instance and implement a nonce to be used with single sign-on digest authentication. | * [Configure your password policy](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/YT3Wr8203t7umC6gSKi32g "Password policy criteria enables you to secure your password and adhere to the minimum password complexity requirements.") * [Password Reset](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/g4~pQXUEjI67gCcHg5Qgfg "The default self-service Password Reset process enables a user to reset the password without assistance from service desk agents.") * [Remember me](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/lbI~vYvDavxGvTjzV~vhDQ#c_ChSetRemMeChkbxCookie "When the Remember me check box is selected at login, a cookie is stored on the user's computer. This cookie automatically authenticates the user upon subsequent visits.") * [IP range based authentication](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/3bWTlxI02aRHw2qV2VKwUg "One way to secure a web-based application is to restrict access based on the IP address.") * [Implement a nonce](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/WyAymjaCazo4Am4ppUmohQ "You can implement a nonce to be used with single sign-on digest authentication.") {#exploring-login-and-authenication-security__ul_wrl_3nz_k1b} |
