3. In MIN LENGTH, enter the minimum number of characters a password can contain.
4. Click in the EXPIRATION field and select the maximum length of time a user can use the same password without replacing it.
5. To control how long a user must wait before he or she can reuse an old password, select Restrict Password Reuse and enter the number of days in the associated field.
6. In LOGIN LOCKOUT, enter the number of consecutive invalid login attempts after which the user name will be locked out of Deltek CRM.
