These APIs allow you to define the policy parameters for choosing passwords. IdentityNow comes with a default policy that you can modify to define the password requirements your users must meet to log in to IdentityNow, such as requiring a minimum password length, including special characters, and disallowing certain patterns. If you have licensed Password Management, you can create additional password policies beyond the default one to manage passwords for supported sources in your org. In the Identity Security Cloud Admin panel, administrators can use the Password Mgmt dropdown menu to select Sync Groups. Refer to [Managing Password Policies](https://documentation.sailpoint.com/saas/help/pwd/pwd_policies/pwd_policies.html) for more information about password policies.
