Changing Password Requirements

I am evaluating switching from Auth0 to Okta. I’ve successfully integrated the JavaScript client API into a React client app. When registering a new user, I have found Okta is applying a policy/requirements that user passwords must conform to. The passwords must be 8 characters, contain a number and a mix of UPPERCASE/lowercase letters. This is not the policy I would like to have for passwords. Is there a way to customize this configuration?

Wow. I happened to stumble upon the solution to this right after posting the question. In the top header there is a string of text that I didn’t realize was a link: <> Developer. Clicking this opens a menu where you can switch to the “Classic UI.” In the Classic UI there are more application settings including Password requirements.

Happy to hear you figured it out. Please ask if you have additional questions.

Still helpful two years later, thanks!
