# Password preferences

This enables us to set password preferences by just selecting one of the available two preferences. Once the preference is set depending upon the set preference, it allows us to create password as per the mentioned conditions. The two preferences are: one is simple but weak and the other is a second preference which is strong.

Beginning at the main screen, select **Admin,** then **Organization** from the drop down menu. This will launch the [**Organization**](/mifosx/user-manual/for-administrators-mifos-x-platform/administration/organization.md) menu.

Select **Password Preferences** to set the preferences.
