About Account Password Policy Settings

As an account owner or administrator, you can define the criteria for Treasure Data user passwords. All users of your Treasure Data account must adhere to the set of criteria that you specify. When you change the password criteria, existing users receive notifications and will have to update their password if they do not already meet the updated criteria. Account owners and Administrators do not reset passwords for users. Users can reset their own password.
