Password Strength Rules

A password strength rule is a rule or requirement to which a password must conform. Password strength rules might specify that the minimum and maximum number of characters for a password. For example, the minimum number must be 5 and the maximum number must be 10. The rules can specify what type of characters must be used or not used. It can also how much time must elapse before a password can be reuse.

Whenever we change a password, the password must conform to the password strength rules. The system administrator defines password strength rules in a password policy.
