- Restrict the content of passwords:
- Define limits on minimum and maximum password characters.
- Allow or require that passwords contain upper and lowercase characters, digits, or special characters.
- Allow or deny use of restricted words.
- Set the number of days for which a password is valid.
- Assign a temporary password.
- Set the lockout time after the user has exceeded the maximum number of logon attempts.
- Define the period during which a user may not reuse a previous password.
