The Product Authentication is a standalone, built-in way of authentication. It does not rely on any external authentication providers. Username and password are stored encrypted in the persistence of i-net HelpDesk.

Allows users to create a login for their account on their own using this login provider.

• Default value: enabled

Users that sign up for an account using the Product Authentication provider in i-net HelpDesk have to have a password with the required minimum length.

• Default value: 8

The requirements for the password strength is an option with three possible values.

• Allow weak passwords (default)
• Allow genuine passwords
• Require strong passwords

The strength is determined using a third-party-library (https://www.security.org/how-secure-is-my-password/) and is done entirely in the browser. The factor of strength is a calculation on how long it will probably take to guess the password using powerful hardware - a computer doing 10 billion calculations per second.

Note: The passwords will not be sent over the internet. The strength is determined in the browser entirely.
