Manage User Settings and Password Requirements for the Company

Password requirements only apply to companies who use Venn as their Identity Provider (IdP) rather than a third-party IdP such as Okta, Azure AD, or JumpCloud.

Enable or Disable "Forgot Password"

As a Company Manager, you can allow users to reset their Venn passwords themselves using the mobile number associated with their Venn user account or you can require that users request a password reset from a Company Manager. This permission only applies if Venn is your Identity Provider.

If you enable "forgot password," make sure that your users have mobile phone numbers associated with their accounts under Security options on the User Record. Learn how to edit user information in Venn.

If you disable "forgot password," we recommend instructing users to reach out to your support team directly to request that their password be reset rather than reaching out to Venn Support. As a security best practice, Venn requires approval from a Company Manager in order to reset passwords.

You can override the company setting for an individual user by editing the user's permissions if needed. To do so, update the Allow forgot password permission under Security options on the User Record.

To enable or disable "forgot password" for your company:

  2. Click Security options.
