Forbidden Passwords IT policy rule
Description
This rule specifies the passwords that a BlackBerry® device user cannot use. Separate multiple passwords with a comma (,).
Default value
The default value is a null value.
Usage
By default, a BlackBerry device prevents a user from configuring passwords that use a natural sequence of characters or numbers.
The BlackBerry device also automatically prevents common letter substitutions. For example, if you include "password" in the
forbidden passwords list, users cannot use "p@ssw0rd", "pa$zword", or "password123" on the BlackBerry device.
Dependencies
A BlackBerry device uses this rule only if the Password Required rule is configured to Yes.
