Hi @lsippell
This is the relevant passage from Docebo Help.
- Password dictionary check. This will check a dictionary to see if there are any common English words used in the password. If the dictionary finds a common word, the user will be asked to set a new password. If you do not flag this option, the check will not be performed, and users can use common English words in their passwords.
@Daniel Thank you for your response. We did read up on it in that article prior to posting and are aware of what it is. We don’t feel it answers the questions presented though. I appreciate you taking the time to search for extra help!
@lsippell Understood Unfortunately, I haven't used this option myself, so I can't give you any more information than what's in the article. Hopefully another member of the community will jump in here to help you out. If not, you can always contact the Help Desk!
I wanted to update this thread with the response I received from Docebo Support.
“If the password is exactly just a common word, without any numbers or symbols attached (ie. password), then the dictionary check will prevent the user from using this password. Additionally, changing a users password as a Superadmin doesn't apply the restrictions. It only applies at a user level.
As for forcing a password change. Currently, when enabled, users aren't asked to change their password if it matches the dictionary. They can log in using the same password as before, and no notification will appear telling the user to change their password.”
