# Password Management (Enterprise)
{% hint style="info" %}
Password Management requires Verifone Commander 56.01 release version.
{% endhint %}
Enterprise Password Management in Verifone Commander Central allows for password settings to be configured and managed in the cloud and then transmitted to a single or multiple Verifone Commanders. Support for password remote management within Verifone Commander Central requires software Release 56.01 or higher.
### Configuration Syncing
#### Initial Onboarding
When the Verifone Commander is initially onboarded into the cloud, if it is on Release 56.01 or higher, it will transmit its current password management to Verifone Commander Central.
The current password management is only transmitted to Verifone Commander Central during the initial onboarding.
### Configuration Updates
* After the initial upload of the current configuration, any updates made in Verifone Commander Central can be accessed and transferred to the site by either the major oil provider and/or the merchant administrator, if applicable.
* After the site is onboarded to the cloud, User Administration will still be available within Verifone Configuration Client.
* If there are local changes within Verifone Configuration Client made to the User Administration at the site, these changes will NOT be transmitted to Verifone Commander Central.
* If updates are sent to the site from Verifone Commander Central, the last update sent will override previously transmitted or locally stored data.
