Repeating Characters Rule
The Repeating Characters rule rejects passwords that contain excessive character repetition. Reducing character repetition can increase resistance to both brute-force and dictionary cracking algorithms. The Repeating Characters rule is not case sensitive, so "mypaSssSword" contains four consecutive repeating characters (SssS).
- Select the Enabled check box to enable the Repeating Characters rule.
- Choose the maximum number of consecutive repeating characters that passwords can contain from the consecutive repeating characters drop-down list.
- Click the Messages tab to customize the Password Policy Client rule inserts.
