Defining Meetings password requirements

The default requirement for a meeting is that the password must be at least eight characters. To increase the password requirements, additional rules can be specified.

A meeting owner can define a meeting password when creating a meeting. When a meeting participant logs into the meeting and the password rules are displayed as the password is typed. As a requirement is met, a green circle with a check mark is displayed next to the requirement.

You can set one or more of the following rules to increase password strength.

  • Password length. The default value is 8.
  • Include at least one special characters. The default is no special characters are needed. The special characters are: -#!$@£%^&*()_+|~=`{}[]:\";'<>?,./ ",
  • Include at least one uppercase letter. The default is false.
  • Include at least one lowercase letter. The default is false.

  • Include at least one number. The default is false.
