Change the Password as the User
A password is a security mechanism that consists of a passphrase created using Alphabetic, Numeric, Alphanumeric, Symbolic characters, or a combination of two or more of the said formats. It is used to restrict access to a System, Application, or Service to those who are authorized to use it. To prevent unauthorized access OrangeHRM is coded to provide system-guided instructions on creating a secure password.

Change the Language and Date Preference
Language is not just a mode of communication; it is also a crucial element in making employees feel comfortable within their workplace. For effective communication within an organization, it is important to implement languages that employees are comfortable with. Often, a company may use multiple languages to communicate with different groups based on their ethnicity or locale. This scenario is particularly relevant for multinational companies, which have branches in multiple countries and locations.
The Language and Date Preference feature of OrangeHRM helps to configure the system's language according to the user's preference.
To access this feature, go to My Settings -> Language and Date Preference
Select the preferred language from the list.
Selected the desired date format from the drop-down.
Click 'Save' after selecting the fields in the 'Language and Date Preference' window.
