Overview

Password management is key to securing InFocus. Each InFocus user has the ability to change their password at any time via Help>Change Password from all screens. Additionally, InFocus admins can fully manage user passwords by establishing company policies related to strength and expiration, setting user passwords and pushing out required resets.

 

 

Best Practices

Our recommended best practice is to establish a global company policy for passwords. This will streamline the general management of passwords and how often users must change them.

Once established, the admin can then explicitly set passwords and force a reset for new users or as otherwise needed.
