What is the standard password requirement for JIRA?

[Chris White]

I'm trying to understand what the default minimum standard is for a JIRA Service Desk password?

Hey Chris,

The minimum password for Jira Cloud products (Jira Software, Jira Service Desk) is simply 8 characters with no complexity requirements. Up to 100 characters are accepted in the password field on the maximum end.

If you need more complex passwords set for users in your organization, check out Atlassian Access. It lets you apply policies including 2FA across accounts using Atlassian products from your email domain (since one user at your company might be a member of many Jira/Confluence sites, including ones managed by other companies).

For folks on Server products, Jira Server / Data Center have built-in password policies you can apply to accounts in Jira's internal user directory. The details on the what and how for Jira Server are here.

Cheers,
Daniel
