# Implement User Account Security

The IDOL Community component provides several security options for user accounts.

- In addition to passwords, you can assign PIN codes to users for authentication with Community

- You can set a minimum length for user names and passwords, and a minimum strength for user passwords.

- You can also specify how often users must change passwords and PIN codes, and ensure that they do not use the same passwords again.

- You can set up Community to protect against brute force attacks. Community can lock user accounts if there are too many incorrect logon attempts from a user in a certain time period.
