# 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>
