Connect as an administrator. Go to "Manage Instance", choose "Security" within the "Instance settings" section. In there you'll find "Workspace Password Policy" which allows you to set various options.

How do you create these users? Is it a standard "CREATE USER <user_name> IDENTIFIED BY <some_password>" statement? If so, the documentation says:Oracle

If you are using the Oracle Database password complexity verification routine, it requires a more complex combination of characters than the normal naming rules permit. You implement this routine with the UTLPWDMG.SQL script, which is further described in Oracle Database Security Guide.

See Password complexity verification.

If not, what password is it, then?

Hi,
Thank you for your solution, I tried the solution provided but that did not work. This is what I did

Step1: created verify_function

Step2: ran the alter command
ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT
PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME 60
PASSWORD_GRACE_TIME 10
PASSWORD_REUSE_TIME 1800
PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX UNLIMITED
FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS 3
PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME 1/1440
PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION verify_function

Looks like this sets the password rules for DBusers but I'm looking for password rules for application users ..

Thank you

If application users are not database users then you have to implement the policy in your application.
