MOTO-09-000200 - The Motorola Android Pie must be configured to not allow passwords that include more than two repeating or sequential characters - Type

Information

Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute force attacks. Passwords that contain repeating or sequential characters are significantly easier to guess than those that do not contain repeating or sequential characters. Therefore, disallowing repeating or sequential characters increases password strength and decreases risk.

SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #1b

Solution

Configure the Motorola Android device to prevent passwords from containing more than two repeating or sequential characters.
