# Enable password reset policy checks

# Enable password reset policy checks {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Use the glide.enable.password_policy property to enable password
policy checks whenever a user changes their password using the user interface.
Use the glide.enable.password_policy property to customize password strength validation rules for the Change Password form. Customize the length and complexity values to match your organization's security
policy. If glide.enable.password_policy is not set to the recommended value of true, then password standards will not be enforced.

Ensure that the glide.enable.password_policy system property exists in the System Properties \[sys_properties\] table and is set to the value true. If the property does not appear in the
System Properties \[sys_properties\] table, add a new record.  
Important:  
The glide.enable.password_policy does not apply when an administrator changes a password or adds a user through script.  
Warning:  
This is a safe harbor property, meaning the value can't be altered once it's changed. It is non-revertible.
