Passcode

Password storage settings​

The policy enables storing the hash sum of the Passcode password instead of storing its value. Hashing is performed with the SHA-1 algorithm.

If the policy is not defined or is disabled, the password is stored in its original form.

Password requirement settings​

Note

For the changes in the policy settings to take effect, you must update the group policy. To update the group policy immediately, use the gpupdate /force command.

The policy allows you to set the following requirements for the Passcode password:

  • The minimum password length
  • The maximum number of occurrences of each character
  • The allowed characters (Latin letters, digits, special characters, custom characters)
  • The minimum number of characters from a group

The maximum number of occurrences of each character can be from 1 to 63, or 0.

Character groups:

  • Digits: 0-9
  • Lowercase Latin letters: a-z
  • Uppercase Latin letters: A-Z
  • Special characters: . , < > / ? [ ] { } = + - _ \ | ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( )
  • Custom character group (the character group is defined by the user for each application)
Information

If the policy is not defined or is disabled, the password can consist only of digits and lowercase Latin letters and must contain at least 6 characters.
