Password
Profiles
and
Complexity
To
secure
the
local
administrator
account,
you
can
define
password
complexity
requirements
that
are
enforced
when
administrators
change
or
create
new
passwords.
Unlike
password
profiles,
which
can
be
applied
to
individual
accounts,
the
password
complexity
rules
are
firewall
‐
wide
and
apply
to
all
passwords.
To
enforce
periodic
password
updates,
create
a
password
profile
that
defines
a
validity
period
for
passwords.
