Security and operations

Manage account security

Operate managed passwords, mandatory authenticators, session expiry and administrator-assisted recovery without bypassing identity checks.

Passwords and authenticators

Managed sign-in requires a password or an explicitly linked Google identity plus an authenticator code. Passwords accept 15–128 Unicode code points and a local common-password check.

Use Account security to change your password. Supply the current password and a fresh authenticator code. Changing a password ends existing sessions.

Sessions

Sessions expire after 30 minutes of inactivity or eight hours absolutely. Sensitive account changes require authentication within the last 15 minutes.

Suspension, role changes, auditor expiry and credential resets invalidate sessions. An expired challenge does not grant application access; restart sign-in.

Lost authenticator

Another admin must independently verify the person's identity before resetting MFA. The reset is audited, ends sessions and requires new authenticator enrollment.

There is no public password-reset or MFA-bypass path. Retain a protected authenticator backup and a second administrator. The last enabled managed administrator cannot be removed or suspended.

See user invitations and Google sign-in.
