Use the glide.enable.password_policy property to enable password
policy checks whenever a user changes their password using the user interface.
To define which password policy to use once this property is enabled, see [Enable password policies on your instance](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/UaJxrnJFKN~dcBC9rMHG_g "Implement password policy controls at login. Force users to change their password if the password does not meet the password policy criteria."). Ensure the Glide Property
glide.enable.password_policy exists and is set to the value
true. If the property does not appear in the sys_properties table, add a new record.  
Hinweis:  
The glide.enable.password_policy does not apply when an administrator changes a password or adds a user through script.  
Warnung:  
This is a safe harbor property, meaning the value can't be altered once it's changed. It is non-revertible.

| Property name | glide.enable.password_policy |
| Configuration type | System Properties (/sys_properties_list.do) |
| Category | [Authentication](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/faHnGPrE5YkSR8Xq~3OW5g "The authentication category covers the main elements of modern authentication to confirm an entity and its claims are authentic and correct, resistant to impersonation and prevent interception of passwords.") |
| Purpose | To apply password policy at time of password change. |
| Recommended value | true (for higher strength passwords) |
| Security risk rating | 7.4 |

## Steps to configure {#sc-enable-password-reset-policy-checks__section_nwt_krk_jkb}

If you configure this setting in the Hardening Compliance Configuration page in the Instance Security Center:

1. Under Medium, Select Session Management.
2. In the Enable Password Reset Policy Check setting, select Medium for medium strength passwords, or Strong for more robust, higher strength passwords. Selecting one of these options sets the glide.enable.password_policy property to true and starts a workflow that automatically updates your password policy.

Additionally, you can set the glide.apply.password_policy.on_login
system property to enable password policy checks at the time of log in.
