As the name points out, Password Policy Enforcer will help you enforce password policies. And to be more precise, this application will help you create password policies and it will help you enforce said policies. Thus, you can make sure that users choose strong passwords. Simple passwords that can be easily hacked will be rejected, based on the policy you create.

The setup wizard that will help you install Password Policy Enforcer on your PC will ask you to choose between an Express and an Advanced setup type.

Go with the Express option if you’re evaluating Password Policy Enforcer or installing it on a small production network. After you select the Express setup type, you will be invited to choose the components you want to install: Password Policy Server (enforces password policies for domain and local user accounts) and Password Policy Client (an optional component that helps users choose a compliant password).

Go with the Advanced setup type if you are installing Password Policy Enforcer on a medium or large network. This setup type will help you create an automated installation for Password Policy Enforcer. According to the developer, it will take you about 15 minutes to set up the automated installation.

Simple passwords are vulnerable – strong passwords should be the norm, but users don’t always go with strong passwords. Instead of letting them have their way, you can use Password Policy Enforcer to create and enforce password policies. Thus, the users won’t be able to pick something like “password1” as their password. They will have to choose something that is less vulnerable. That is, in a nutshell, the functionality put at your disposal by Password Policy Enforcer.

Password Policy Enforcer is free to use for a trial period of 30 days.

Create the password policies you want and enforce them on the network by getting Password Policy Enforcer, a powerful tool that will make sure users pick strong passwords.

Pros

The setup wizard presents two setup types: Express and Advanced. Create password policies; there are powerful password policy rules to play with. Custom email reminders can be sent out by Password Policy Enforcer. Enforce password policies on the network.

Cons

30-day trial.
