Locating the Password Policy After Okta Identity Engine Upgrade
Last Updated:
Overview
Upgrading from Okta Classic Engine to Okta Identity Engine (OIE) introduces a user interface change that relocates the password policy settings. In Okta Classic Engine, the password policy resides under the Security and Authentication menus, but OIE splits sign-on policies between Global Session Policies and Authentication Policies. Administrators locate and edit the password policy in OIE by navigating to the Authenticators section of the Admin Console.
Applies To

Cause
In Okta Classic Engine, the password policy resides in the Okta Admin Console under Security > Authentication > Password. In OIE, the Authentication option under Security no longer exists because OIE splits the sign-on policies between Global Session Policies and Authentication Policies.
