2.4.1 Ensure 'Allow simple value' is set to 'Disabled'

Information

This recommendation pertains to passcode requirements. A simple passcode is defined as containing repeated characters, or increasing/decreasing characters (such as 123 or CBA).

Rationale:

Simple passcodes include repeating, ascending, or descending character sequences that are more easily guessed.

Solution

1. Open Apple Configurator.
2. Open the Configuration Profile.
3. In the left windowpane, click on the 'Passcode' tab.
4. In the right windowpane, 'uncheck' the checkbox for 'Allow simple value'.
5. Deploy the Configuration Profile.

Impact:

None.
