What are "PIN Complexity Rules"?

PIN Complexity

Admins can set rules for users' token PINs, including minimum length, special characters, lowercase letters, uppercase letters, minimum digit count, maximum consecutive characters, disallowed words, and reset time. The more complex and longer your employees' PINs, the more protected they are.

Configuring the PIN complexity rules in the GateKeeper Hub

1. Log in to the GateKeeper Hub admin console.

2. Click "Groups & Settings".

3. Click "Global Settings".

4. Click "USER SETTINGS".

5. Scroll down until you see PIN Complexity Rules and click "Configure".

6. Click "Configure" to save the new policy rules.

By enforcing PIN Complexity Rules, organizations can enhance the security of their systems by ensuring that users create strong and hard-to-guess PINs. This helps protect against unauthorized access and reduces the likelihood of successful PIN-based attacks or breaches.

Choose settings for the GateKeeper PINs. You can set minimum length, character, number, and special character requirements for the PIN.

Minimum Length

Set the minimum PIN length required. This is just like the PIN on your debit card.

Special Characters

Set the minimum number of special characters required in PIN.

Lowercase Letters

Set the minimum number of lowercase characters required in PIN.

Uppercase Letters

Set the minimum number of uppercase characters required in PIN.

Minimum Digit Count

Set the minimum number of digits required in PIN.

Maximum Consecutive Characters

Set the maximum number of allowed consecutive characters.

Disallowed Words

password, password123, 1234, qwerty, 123456789, 111111, abc123

Set words and phrases that cannot be used in PINs. Add them in the input box separated by commas.

Reset in (Days)

Set the number of days after which the PIN must be reset with a new one. IT admins can require users to change their PINs every quarter or once a year. Or set to "Never."
