Abstract
An image forming apparatus, includes: a storage storing authentication information on a user; a setter setting, for each user, an authentication requirement for the authentication information; an authenticator authenticating the user based on the authentication information; and a determiner performing determination as to whether the authentication information on a user authenticated by the authenticator satisfies the authentication requirement corresponding to the user.
Claims6
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- one or more controllers;
- and
- a memory storing one or more computer-readable instructions and authentication information of a plurality of users, wherein
- the one or more controllers are configured to execute the one or more computer-readable instructions stored in the memory to:
- set, for each user of the plurality of users, an authentication requirement for the authentication information of the user;
- authenticate the user based on the authentication information of the user;
- and
- perform a determination as to whether the authentication information of the user being authenticated satisfies the authentication requirement corresponding to the user,
- set a time for the determination,
- perform the determination at a time set as the time for the determination,
- determine whether to perform the determination at a time of login,
- disallow, in a case that the determination is performed at the time of login, the user to log in when the authentication information of the user being authenticated does not satisfy the authentication requirement corresponding to the user at the time of login,
- determine whether to perform the determination according to an authentication method, and
- omit performing, in a case that the determination is performed at the time of login, the determination for the user when a user being authenticated uses the authentication method without the determination.

- perform the determination at a time set as the time for the determination,
- determine whether to perform the determination at a time of changing the authentication information after changing the authentication requirement, and
- display, in a case that the determination is performed at the time of changing the authentication information, a message urging input of the changed authentication information again when changed authentication information of the user for which the authentication information is changed does not satisfy the authentication requirement corresponding to the user.
