Listed below are the new rules for passwords and authentication for store administrators in ProStores version 9.2.0 and higher.

• Contain both alphabetic and numeric characters
• Contain at least seven characters
• Change every ninety (90) days
• Cannot reuse the last four passwords
• The account will be locked after six invalid password attempts for a period of 30 minutes or until reset by an administrator
• Sessions will time out after being idle for 15 minutes*

If these new rules frustrate you as a store administrator, just remember... it's more secure.

*Idle is when you are logged into your store admin and are not clicking about using stuff. One very important distinction is that once you enter the product update area (editing product data like descriptions and such) your clicks are not recognized by the idle monitor. So, if you spend longer than 15 minutes editing a product and click on submit, it's gone. [ouch - that's a bag O'hurt]
