Use the fields and options to specify the rules for passwords.

	Minimum Length	Enter the minimum number of characters that users must enter for a password.

	After a password expires, the user is locked out of Deltek and must change the password to log in again.
Log In Lockout	Enter a numeric value for the number of invalid login attempts allowed before a user is disabled from using Deltek.

Enable Multi-Factor Authentication Using TOTP	Select this check box to enable multi-factor authentication on Deltek, which provides an additional layer of security.
	When enabled, a corresponding option becomes available in the Users form to require users to provide a six-digit code from an authentication application on a mobile device, in addition to the user's ID and password.
Username and Password Cannot Be the Same	Select this check box to prevent Deltek from accepting passwords that match usernames.
Cannot Reuse Password	Select this check box to restrict the reuse of old passwords when users change their password. This prevents users from using the same password for a certain number of times when they change their password.
