3.1.3 - AirWatch - Set the 'minimum password length'

Information

This control defines the minimum number of characters a user password must contain. By default, the minimum passcode length is only four characters, and this is the default Exchange ActiveSync policy value applied for users not assigned to a mailbox policy if minimum password length checking is enabled. The recommended setting is 5 or more characters.

Solution

From the AirWatch console, open the iOS device profile. Under Passcode verify that Minimum Passcode Length is set to a value of 5 or more.
