Password & Authentication Policy
Generate a Password & Authentication Policy aligned to modern NIST guidance — length over rotation, MFA everywhere, and secure credential storage.
These clauses are generated as part of your Access Control Policy rather than as a separate file, which is how most auditors expect to receive them.

Password & Authentication Policy, answered
Should passwords expire every 90 days?
Modern NIST guidance recommends against forced periodic rotation in favor of length and MFA. The generated policy follows current best practice.
How does Pentest Today generate the policy?
Answer a short intake about your stack and we generate a tailored draft — not a blank template — pre-mapped to the controls your framework requires. You review, edit, and export it.
Can I edit the generated policy?
Yes. Every document is a starting draft you can edit, brand, and export. It's written to be review-ready but stays fully under your control.
