These are the docs for the Metabase master branch. Some features documented here may not yet be available in the latest release. Check out the docs for the latest version, Metabase v0.51.
Password complexity
Metabase offers a couple controls for administrators who prefer to increase the password requirements on their user accounts.
export MB_PASSWORD_COMPLEXITY=strong
export MB_PASSWORD_LENGTH=10
The settings above can be used independently, so it’s fine to use only one or the other. By default Metabase use complexity = normal and a password length of 6. The following options are available for complexity choice:
weak= no character constraintsnormal= at least 1 digitstrong= minimum 8 characters w/ 2 lowercase, 2 uppercase, 1 digit, and 1 special character
By default, Metabase also prevents users from setting passwords that are in a list of common passwords (like qwerty123 and
passw0rd). Changing the complexity requirement to weak disables this behavior.
