Password Settings

The Password Settings tab allows you to define password policies for managed Android devices. You can enforce password requirements such as password quality, complexity, and security rules to help protect corporate data. Multiple password policies can be created and assigned based on your organization's security requirements. However, only the most restrictive (highest complexity) policy is enforced at a time. Therefore, it is recommended to create a single password policy that meets your organization's password complexity requirements.

Prerequisite

• Before configuring the Password Settings, create a new Android policy or open an existing policy. For instructions, refer to the How to create policy guide.

Follow the Steps Below to Configure the Password Policy

• From the policy configuration page, select Password Settings in the left navigation panel, then click the Add password button.



• Configure the password settings based on your organization's security requirements. Refer to the table below for a description of each setting.
