# Password Policy
Password policy enforces the security by requiring the users to use strong passwords.
Currently, two methods are supported:
## classic
This mode of operation allows administrators to set the rules that user passwords must comply with when changing their
password.
The available options are:
* Minimum password length
* Require Uppercase
* Require Lowercase
* Require Numbers
* Require Special characters

## zxcvbn
This mode uses [zxcvbn](https://github.com/dropbox/zxcvbn) for password strength checking. In this mode of operation,
the user is not forced to follow any rules. The user is notified if their passwords is weak or strong.
