ParentSquare Security Enhancements

From ParentSquare:
​

Many of you are aware of recent hacking incidents with other K-12 platforms. To protect your ParentSquare community, we are releasing an update called Password Monitor.

Here’s how it works.

Anytime a user enters a password in ParentSquare, such as during sign-in, password reset, or new account registration, they will be alerted if we detect that the password represents a potential security risk. We will require that they change their password to continue.

We determine this by comparing the password with a public list of passwords included in known security breaches. 
​
Users who access ParentSquare from their SIS portals or Google using Single Sign On (SSO) are not affected since they do not need to enter a password to access ParentSquare.
