Figure 6-63. Password Management

The Password Management page contains the following fields:

Password Minimum Length (8-64) — Indicates the minimum password length, when checked.

For example, the administrator can define that all passwords must have a minimum of 10 characters.

Consecutive Passwords Before Re-use — Indicates the amount of times a password is changed, before the password can be reused. Possible field values are 1-10.

Enable Login Attempts (1-5) — When checked, enables locking a user out of the device when a faulty password is used more than a user-defined number of times. For example, if this field is checked, configured to 5 and a user attempts to log on five times with an incorrect password, the device locks the user out on the sixth attempt. Possible field values are 1-5.
