Description
The shorter the password, the lower the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password length is one factor of several that helps to determine strength and how long it takes to crack a password. The shorter the password, the lower the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Use of more characters in a password helps to exponentially increase the time and/or resources required to compromise the password. SFRID: FMT_SMF.1(2)b. / IA-5 (1) (a)

Check Text ( C-54694r805078_chk )
Verify WS1 UEM is configured to enforce a local account password length of at least 15 characters for the emergency local account. 1. Log in to the WS1UEM console. 2. Go to Settings >> Admin >> Console Security >> Passwords. 3. Verify "Minimum Password Length" is set to 15. If the minimum password length is not set to 15, this is a finding.
