Configure device password requirements

You can use IT policy options to control whether a user needs to enter a password to access their device or the workspace on their device (depending on the user's activation type), and to specify rules for password complexity. These options help your organization to enforce security controls that protect valuable work data.

  4. Configure the password requirements.

    For example, you can set the minimum password length or the maximum failed password attempts. The options you have, and the behavior of certain rules, may depend on the user's activation type. For more information about the password rules for different devices and activation types, see the IT Policy Rules Reference.
