      • Maximum Invalid Login Attempts: The number of consecutive incorrect logins after which a customer account is temporarily disabled (1-200).
      • Lockout Effective Period: The time period after which a locked out customer can log in again.
      • Login Attempt Reset Time: The time period after which the count of invalid login attempts is reset to 0.
      • Minimum Password Length: Minimum number of characters required for a valid password.
      • Minimum Password Special Characters: Minimum number of special characters required for a valid password. Any character other than A-Z, a-z, or 0-9 counts as a special character, including the at (@) sign. Business Manager shows these examples: $%/()[]{}=?!.,-_*|+~#.
      • Password Must Contain Letters: Enforces letters within passwords, optionally enforces a mix of lower and upper case letters.
      • Password Must Contain Numbers: True or False.
      • Passwords Expire In: The period after which a password expires. The default is Never.
      • Password Reset Tokens Expire In: The period after which a password reset token expires. The period can also be configured in customer list imports via the header attribute max-password-reset-token-age.
        Note
        Note changes to this setting aren't automatically reflected in the customer password reset email text in the SiteGenesis application. This email contains a hard-coded expiration time of 30 minutes. You update the email template manually.
