# Sign On and Authentication

Cubu is using [Auth0](https://auth0.com/) to manage user identities. Auth0 is an adaptable authentication and authorization platform.

## Security Features

### Session timeout

* Users are required to re-enter their password after 3 days of inactivity.
* Users must re-enter their password after 7 days, regardless of their activity.

### Password Policy

* Must have 8 characters
* Lowercase, uppercase, and numbers
* Special character (!@#$%^&\*)

### Password History

This option disallows users from setting passwords that repeat passwords they've used in the recent past.

Cubu keeps the user’s last 5 passwords.

### Brute-force Protection

The user account is locked after **10** consecutive failed login attempts.

### Enforce Password Change

Cubu does **not** enforce periodic password changes.

### CAPTCHA

The login/sign-in forms are protected with a bot-prevention CAPTCHA system.

### Multi-factor Authentication

Multi-factor authentication is **not** supported.

### Single Sign On (SSO)

Single sign-on is supported for OIDC, using Microsoft Azure AD, Auth0, and Okta.
