Password aging also applies to zero-length passwords (no

Select Password Complexity Settings to enable complexity rules for passwords.
If password complexity is enabled, new passwords must conform to the following
default settings:
•
Have a minimum length of eight characters.
•
Contain characters from at least three character classes (uppercase letters,
lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters available on a standard
keyboard).
•
Are different from the current password.
•
Contain no character that is repeated more than three times consecutively.
•
Do not repeat or reverse the users name or any variant reached by changing
the case of the characters.
•
Do not repeat or reverse the manufacturers name or any variant reached by
changing the case of the characters.
If the Password Complexity Settings are enabled, the following parameters may
be configured:
•
Minimal Password Length—Enter the minimal number of characters
required for passwords.
A zero-length password (no password) is allowed, and can still have
NOTE
password aging assigned to it.
•
Allowed Character Repetition—Enter the number of times that a character
can be repeated.
•
Minimal Number of Character Classes—Enter the number of character
classes which must be present in a password. Character classes are lower
case (1), upper case (2), digits (3), and symbols or special characters (4).
•
The New Password Must Be Different than the Current One—If selected,
the new password cannot be the same as the current password upon a
password change.
Click Apply. The password settings are written to the Running Configuration file.
