In today’s digital landscape, robust password policies are essential to protect sensitive business data. The Odoo Password Formatter app is a powerful yet straightforward Odoo security module designed to enforce strong password requirements for new users in an Odoo ERP environment. Whether you’re managing employees, clients, or system administrators, this Odoo module for password security ensures that every password meets predefined security standards and strengthens your overall authentication process.
Developed by Reliution, a trusted Odoo company in Rajkot offering end-to-end Odoo services, the app allows administrators to configure password complexity rules such as mandatory uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. It also supports setting a minimum password length, ensuring compliance with organizational or industry security policies like HIPAA or GDPR. Unlike Odoo’s default password settings, this module provides real-time password validation and clear feedback during password creation, reducing the risk of weak credentials.
Key Features of Password Formatter
Below are the core functionalities of the Odoo Password Formatter:
Customizable Password Rules:
Enforce uppercase (A-Z), lowercase (a-z), numbers (0-9), or special characters (!@#$%).
Set a minimum password length to prevent short, easily guessable passwords.
Real-Time Validation:
As users type their password, a real-time validation popup appears.
Successfully met requirements turn green, while missing criteria remain highlighted.
Error Handling:
If a password doesn’t meet the configured rules, an error message clearly specifies the missing criteria.
Validation occurs during both sign-up and password change processes.
Easy Configuration:
Settings are accessible under Settings → General Settings → Set Password Format.
Broad Odoo Compatibility:
Works with Odoo Enterprise (On-Premise and Odoo.SH) and Odoo Community.
Not available for Odoo Online (Cloud) due to platform restrictions on third-party apps.
Real-World Use Cases
1. Strengthening Internal Security in a Corporate Environment
A financial services firm handling sensitive client data must ensure all employees use high-strength passwords. With Password Formatter, IT administrators can enforce mandatory 8-character passwords with at least one uppercase letter, one number, and one special character. This reduces vulnerabilities from weak passwords, safeguarding confidential financial records using secure ERP access.
2. Compliance with Industry Regulations
Healthcare organizations subject to HIPAA or GDPR need strict access controls. The module allows them to implement 12-character passwords with mixed cases and symbols, fulfilling compliance-ready password module requirements. Real-time validation ensures staff and contractors adhere to policies seamlessly during onboarding.
