Read this summary of the new features, changes, and updated information for your product from Washington DC to Australia.\n\n**Tip:** If there were no updates for a release notes section in a certain family release, we included a short note for your reference. For example, if a product did not have any updates in Tokyo, the row says \"No updates for this release.\"\n\n## Important information for upgrading Password Reset to Australia\n\nBefore you upgrade to Australia, review these pre- and post-upgrade tasks and complete the tasks as needed.\n\n<table class=\"custom-rows\"><thead><tr><th class=\"filter\">\n\nRelease\n\n</th><th>\n\nRelease notes\n\n</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>\n\nWashington DC\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nXanadu\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nYokohama\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nZurich\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nAustralia\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr></tbody>\n</table>## New features\n\nBetween your current release family and Australia, new features were introduced for Password Reset.\n\n<table class=\"custom-rows\"><thead><tr><th class=\"filter\">\n\nRelease\n\n</th><th>\n\nRelease notes\n\n</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>\n\nWashington DC\n\n</td><td>\n\n-   **[Experience improved expiration settings of Soft PIN](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=password-reset-global-properties&family=washingtondc&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nGive your users the experience of secured Soft PIN enrollment. While enrolling for the Soft PIN verification, they can view the number of days in which the Soft PIN expires. While resetting the Soft PIN, users view the rules that their Soft PIN must comply with. Also, users get email and ServiceNow® Virtual Agent notifications when their passwords are about to expire.\n\nAs a Password Reset administrator, you can configure the Soft PIN expiration settings such as setting the number of days when the passwords expire, the frequency of sending password expiration reminder emails, and history policies on Soft PIN.\n\nThese settings are enabled by default even if you've upgraded Password Reset from the previous version.\n\n-   **View the security score for your Password Reset processes**\n\nView the security score for your Password Reset processes. Based on the score, you get notifications for potential configuration improvements to the processes.\n\nWhile creating the Password Reset process, view security scores for the process. If you see any deviations between the maximum attainable and current scores, you get an email with an actionable list of recommendations to improve the configuration. You get informative messages indicating whether the process configuration is ideal.\n\nEvaluate configurations for identification and verification steps. If your configurations are less secure, get process-wise actionable suggestions on how to improve the strength.\n\n**Note:** Starting Washington DC, the Self-Service or the Service Desk Password Reset Experience is restricted for security\\_admin users. Only a user with the `security_admin` role can set the password of another `security_admin` user using the sys\\_user record to further enhance the security.\n\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nXanadu\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nYokohama\n\n</td><td>\n\n-   **[Deny ACLs for Password Reset Access](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=r_InstalledWithPasswordReset&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nEnhance the security of Password Reset related tables by restricting access to non-authenticated users through Deny ACLs.\n\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nZurich\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nAustralia\n\n</td><td>\n\n-   **[Granular admin roles in Password Reset](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=r_InstalledWithPasswordReset&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nConfigure the Password Reset application features using the granular Password Reset admin role \\(password\\_reset\\_admin\\).\n\n\n</td></tr></tbody>\n</table>## Changes\n\nBetween your current release family and Australia, some changes were made to existing Password Reset features.\n\n<table class=\"custom-rows\"><thead><tr><th class=\"filter\">\n\nRelease\n\n</th><th>\n\nRelease notes\n\n</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>\n\nWashington DC\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nXanadu\n\n</td><td>\n\n-   **[Enhancing Password Reset Security URL](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=password-reset-global-properties&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nControl the expiration duration of a password reset URL by setting the `glide.pwd_reset.onetime.token.validity` property.
