Information

Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute force attacks. Passwords that contain repeating or sequential characters are significantly easier to guess than those that do not contain repeating or sequential characters. Therefore, disallowing repeating or sequential characters increases password strength and decreases risk. The numeric (complex) setting allows the use of a numeric-only keyboard for passwords and enforces the repeating or sequential characters limitation.

SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #1b

Solution

Configure the Zebra Android 10 device to prevent passwords from containing more than two repeating or sequential characters.

On the MDM console:
1. Open password requirements.
2. Open device password section.
3. Set password quality to 'Numeric (Complex)'.

Note: Alphabetic, Alphanumeric, and Complex are also acceptable selections, but these will cause the user to select a complex password, which is not required by the STIG.
