Configuration Settings

  • The "Expire the password after this many days" setting allows admins to set the number of days users can sign in with breached credentials. This numerical value can be between 0 and 10 days.
  • The "Take custom actions using Workflows" setting will require an already existing workflow to be selected prior to being able to save the password policy.

NOTE: These two settings can be used at the same time, allowing admins to expire the user password and log out users from Okta immediately while taking custom actions using workflows.
