The following lists restricted words that you can use to control the content of user passwords. Changes to the password restricted words list can occur when:
- Teradata Vantage adds words to the list as part of a software release.
- An administrator adds custom restricted words, or deletes existing restricted words.
Passwords are not subject to these restrictions unless you enable the PasswordRestrictedWords option. For additional information about use of password restricted words, see ******.
The system provides approximately 2400 default restricted words, in two categories:
- Frequently Used Words (approximately 2000 words)
- Frequently Used Names (approximately 400 words)
Password restricted words are not case-sensitive
