Aura Console User Password Requirements

Boosting Your Aura Security 🔐
To keep your graphs under lock and key, we’re rolling out a small update to our password policy and a friendly reminder about your security toolkit.
What’s Changing?
Starting today, the minimum password length for the Aura Console is increasing to 16
 characters.  This will apply to any new users, or any users that reset their password.
Why the change?
While "Gr4ph123
" was a solid start, modern security standards have evolved. Experts such as NIST now agree that password length, combined with always using a unique password, are the best defense against attacks. A longer password creates exponentially more entropy, making it much harder for bad actors to guess, while remaining easier for humans to remember if you use a simple passphrase (e.g., Correct-Horse-Battery-Staple).
Level Up with MFA 📱
A strong password is a great first layer, but why stop there? We highly recommend enabling Authenticator-based TOTP MFA (Time-based One-Time Password) as this is ultimately the best way to protect your Aura account.
How to do it:
Log in to the Aura Console using email/password.
Go to Account > Settings > Preferences > Security.
Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
Follow the MFA set up steps.
If you are an Org admin, you can make Authenticator-based MFA mandatory for all of your org users in the Organization Security Settings.  It only takes a minute, but it gives you peace of mind that lasts much longer.
Action Items for You
Update your password: If you're using a short password it is time to update it.  The next time you change your password, you’ll be prompted to meet the new 16-character requirement.
Enable MFA: If you haven’t already, grab your favorite authenticator app (like Google Authenticator or Authy) and link it to your account.
Pro Tip: Using a password manager makes meeting this 16-character requirement a breeze. Let the robots do the remembering so you can focus on the querying!
