Password Policies

When a new customer environment is activated, Vantagepoint is configured with stringent default password policies. You can change the default password policies at any time. However, Deltek strongly recommends that you retain the default password policies to maintain an adequate level of security.

This section is not applicable if you set up Microsoft Entra ID for single sign-on for Vantagepoint.

Default Password Policies

The default password policies are:

  • Minimum Password Length: 8
  • Require at least one digit in all passwords: Yes
  • Require at least one special character: Yes
  • Passwords expire after 90 days
  • Do not allow password to be reused for 360 days
  • Disable users after 5 invalid logon attempts
  • Users are required to set a login password unless the Allow User Account Passwords to be Blank option is selected.

Configure password policies in Settings > Security > Password Policies.

Migrated Accounts

If your organization is migrating from an on-premises instance of Vantagepoint to the Vantagepoint cloud offering, these password policies are enabled in the Vantagepoint environment regardless of what password policies were in effect in your on-premises configuration.

As a result, some users in your organization may need to reset their password during their first login so that their passwords comply with the default Vantagepoint password policies.
