- Session management: Control session usability and behaviour: duration, expiration, number of available sessions are examples of these control features.
- Password management: Enforce the complexity of a password, or control how many times a wrong login could be introduced blocking an account.
- Authentication improvements: Enrich the features of the authentication mechanism with more secure options.

Important Notes
You should be aware that currently "Access control modules" (those providing "User Access", "Node Access", "Taxonomy Access", etc...) have been removed from this list. The terms security and access are often confused. Documentation of the Access Control modules has been moved to Access Control management.
