Complexity Rule

The complexity rule ensures that passwords meet the following minimum complexity requirements:

  • Not contain the user's account name or parts of the user's full name that exceed two consecutive characters

  • Be at least six characters in length

  • Contain characters from three of the following four categories:

    • English uppercase characters (A through Z)

    • English lowercase characters (a through z)

    • Base 10 digits (0 through 9)

    • Non-alphabetic characters (Supported characters are ~`!#$%\^&*+=-[];,/{}._|":<>?()@

The complexity rule imposes the same requirements as the standard Windows policy “Password must meet complexity requirements.”
