Full set: 248 questionsDomain Configuration and Setup
To enhance password security, a Salesforce administrator can configure several settings within the org's Password Policies. Setting password complexity requirements ensures that users create strong passwords with a mix of character types. Defining the number of days until expiration forces regular password changes, mitigating the risk of compromised credentials over time. Configuring the maximum invalid login attempts protects accounts from brute-force attacks by locking out users after a specified number of failed attempts. These three policies work together to enforce the creation and maintenance of secure passwords.
B. Prohibited password values: Salesforce does not have a standard feature to create a custom list of prohibited passwords (e.g., "password123," "companyname").
C. Require use of Password Manager App: Salesforce cannot enforce the use of an external application like a password manager; this is an internal company IT policy, not a configurable Salesforce setting.
