To set your Default passwords and expiry durations follow these steps:

1. Sign into smartadmin here OR navigate to smartadmin > School Settings > Passwords

2. Decide on your desired passwords for staff and students and if you want to enable the additional options:
   Password Expiry duration (this can be 14 to 1000 days) This will check when a users password was last updated- If its over the newly applied limit then the user will be forced to update password on next login.
   Allow learners to change their password (Y/N)
   Complex learner passwords (Forces students to use a complex password)
   Password Length Override (this can be 8 to 60 characters)

3. Future superadmin users can access the page and see a hint of what the default password was set to

4. By Default 'Allow Learners to change their password' is set to 'Yes'. Some primary schools have requested that students cannot change their passwords- Change to 'No' if you prefer students cannot update their password
