Today we deploy a change to the Kolab Now password expiry policy, which will affect you only if you:
– have enabled an expiry policy in your profile
– your password expired according to that policy
If both of these conditions are the place, you will be prompted to change your password when you login in to the cockpit with your correct, but expiring, password.
If so, you share your password with thousand – perhaps 100s of thousands of others. Password complexity is being talked a lot about in the media these days. You have probably seen messages from your bank or your badminton club membership administrator about how your password should be complex to avoid password cracking.
Last Friday, 2022-02-11, Kolab Now released a number of enhancements, most of which are not directly visible to end users. However one change that could have impact for users is the option to implement password policies.
Take a look at the knowledge base article, to see how password policies can be leveraged by group owners to ensure all users have adequate passwords at all times.
This release also brings some interesting updates for the users in the Private beta program, who now have access to Shared folders, Distribution lists, and Resource management – more information to follow on that.
More interesting updates are on the way. Keep an eye on this blog for news and updates.
