In Abiquo, you can enforce your password best practice to improve user password security and usability. And you can allow users to reset their passwords.
The password options can:
Prevent users from changing between a set of common passwords
Ensure that users change their passwords periodically
Prevent users from quickly reverting to an old password
Require a minimum password length
Require complex passwords that do not contain the users name and include at least three of the following five categories: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, non-alphanumeric characters and other unicode characters.
Configure password reset
With these options you can:
Deter multiple attempts to break into a user account
Allow users to reset their passwords and provide the URI for password reset.
Configure reCAPTCHA
For password recovery, you can enable reCAPTCHA V2 by adding reCAPTCHA keys to Abiquo. Request the keys from this link: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin#createsite
Set the public key in the Abiquo UI, in the client-config-custom.json file:
"client.captcha.publickey" : ""
Set the private key on the Abiquo server, in the abiquo.properties file:
abiquo.captcha.private.key=
If only one key is present and the other key is missing, the user will receive an error message, and they cannot recover their password.
Configure reset password email and URI
See Configure custom platform messages
Configure password reset link
Users can reset their password in the UI by clicking on the Forgot your password? link.
You can configure the link address in the Configuration View, but if you do not wish to allow the user to reset their password, you should edit the client-config-custom.json file and set the client password recovery property to false.
"client.password.recovery":false
When this value is false, the link will not display.
When it is true, the default password reset link will open the following dialog.
Password UI configuration

Click Edit to see more information about the range of values and the default.
For more details, see Configuration view#Security
Create a user
When you create a user, on the Advanced tab you can select an option to ensure they reset their password on login.
Locked users
A user that is locked out for too many failed login attempts is marked as Suspended in Users view in both the list view and the card view.
The administrator can edit the user and manually activate the account, or the user can wait for the lockout period to end.
