Password policies help prevent\nthe creation of weak passwords and help with compliance. This\n[recommender](/recommender/docs/overview) is called **Enable instance password policy**.\n\nEvery day, this recommender proactively detects instances that don't\nhave an instance password policy enabled and provides insights and\nrecommendations to improve your instance security. You can view insights and\ndetailed recommendations about these instances by using\nthe Google Cloud console, [gcloud CLI](/sdk/gcloud), or the\n[Recommender API](/recommender/docs/using-api).\n\nBefore you begin\n----------------\n\nEnsure that you [enable the Recommender API](/recommender/docs/enabling).\n\n### Required roles and permissions\n\nTo get the permissions to view and work with insights and recommendations,\nensure that you have the required [Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles](/sql/docs/mysql/project-access-control#roles).\n\nFor more information about IAM roles, see [IAM basic and predefined roles reference](/iam/docs/understanding-roles) and [Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations](/iam/docs/granting-changing-revoking-access).\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\nList the recommendations\n------------------------\n\nTo list the recommendations, follow these steps: \n\n### Console\n\nTo list recommendations about instance security, follow these steps:\n\n1.
