# Strong password policy

<table><thead><tr><th width="138">Check ID</th><th>APP_0005</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Category</td><td>Security</td></tr><tr><td>Summary</td><td>A strong password policy is a policy that you configure in your Mendix app that determines the minimum requirements for user passwords (E.g. length, special characters, etc.). The Mendix server will then ensure that it is not possible to create a user with a password that does not meet this policy. Strong passwords are essential if you are not using SSO. If you are using SSO, your SSO solution should already enforce a strong password policy.</td></tr><tr><td>Options</td><td>This check does not have any options.</td></tr><tr><td>Pass</td><td>Your configured password policy requires a length greater than 11, and requires the use of digits, mixed case, and symbols.</td></tr><tr><td>Fail</td><td>Your configured password policy requires a length less than 12, and does not require the use of digits, mixed case, and symbols.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bluestorm.io/checks/app/app_0005.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
