Meaning
The maximum sequence of characters that can
be repeated consecutively in passwords.
For example, if set to 3, then 'BlahBlah' and
'31st31st' will be rejected, but 'TicTicTock' and
'GeeGee' will be accepted. 'Blah-Blah' will be
accepted because the two sequences are not
consecutive.
'No' means that reversed patterns are not
checked.
'Yes' means that reversed patterns are checked.
For example, if Maximum Repeated Pattern
Length is set to 3 and Match Reversed Patterns
is set to 'Yes', then 'AB1221BA' will be rejected.
