1.3.6 Ensure 'Minimum Special Characters' is greater than or equal to 1

Information

This checks all new passwords to ensure that they contain at least one non-alphabetic character (for example, !, $, #, %).
Rationale:
This is one of several settings that, when taken together, ensure that passwords are sufficiently complex as to thwart brute force and dictionary attacks.

Solution

Navigate to Device > Setup > Management > Minimum Password Complexity
Set Minimum Special Characters to greater than or equal to 1
Default Value:
Not enabled.
