To ensure that the appropriate level of password security is used for your organization,
specify password requirements with Password Policies settings for users assigned to a profile.
Profile Password Policies settings override the organization-wide Password Policies for that
profile’s users. If you don’t set Password Policies on a profile, the organization-wide Password
Policies apply. New profile Password Policies take effect for existing profile users when they
reset their passwords.
