Length rule

The Length rule rejects passwords that contain too few or too many characters. Longer passwords are generally stronger, so only specify a maximum password length if you must maintain password compatibility with a system that can't accept long passwords.

Length rule

Select the Length checkbox to enable the Length rule.

Select the At least option if you want Password Policy Enforcer (PPE) to enforce a minimum password length. Select the minimum number of characters from the dropdown.

Select the No more than option if you want PPE to enforce a maximum password length. Select the maximum number of characters from the dropdown.

Select the Between option if you want PPE to enforce a minimum and maximum password length. Select the minimum number of characters from the first dropdown and the maximum from the second dropdown.
