Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute force attacks. The ability to crack a password is a function of how many attempts an adversary is permitted, how quickly an adversary can do each attempt, and the size of the password space. The longer the minimum length of the password is, the larger the password space. Having a too-short minimum password length significantly reduces password strength, increasing the chance of password compromise and resulting device and data compromise.
Review configuration settings to confirm the minimum passcode length is six or more characters.
This procedure is performed in the Apple iOS management tool and on the Apple iOS device.
Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review.
In the Management tool, verify the "Minimum passcode length" value is set to "6" or greater.
Alternatively, verify the text "
Install a configuration profile to enforce a minimum passcode length value of "6" or greater.
