To turn this on, simply turn it on in your `Admin > Security` Settings. For a more in-depth walkthrough of how two-factor authentication works in Snipe-IT, [click here](/docs/google-two-factor). ## SAML Snipe-IT offers SAML integration to allow you to use SSO to manage your user logins. For more information, see the full [SAML documentation](/docs/saml). ## Password Minimum Characters > 🚧 Note > > If your user's passwords are managed via LDAP, you should manage password policies through your LDAP policies, since LDAP users will not be able to change their Snipe-IT passwords through the Snipe-IT UI. This setting allows you to set a minimum number of characters for user passwords. The minimum permitted value is 8. ## Prevent Common Passwords Activating this setting will disallow users from using passwords from the [top 10,000 passwords reported in breaches](https://www.wired.com/2013/12/web-semantics-the-ten-thousand-worst-passwords/). ## Password Complexity You may choose to enable, some, or none of the password complexity rules.
