TMA-INTUNE-IOS-3.7.2
Ensure "Block simple passwords" is set to "Yes"
Description
This restriction enforces a block on simple passwords on the device. Passwords such as 1234 and 0000 would be blocked. The benchmark marks this a Manual check of an Intune iOS/iPadOS policy setting that cannot be read from the endpoint with a script, so TMAegis lists it as a manual review item with the audit steps (the policy must be inspected in the Intune admin center or on the managed device).
How it is checked
Audit method: Manual review
This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.
iOS/iPadOS: Intune admin center: Select the Password heading; Verify that Block simple passwords is present and set to Yes. On the device: Tap Restrictions; Tap Passcode; Confirm Simple passcodes allowed is present and its value is No
How it is fixed
Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch
Intune admin center: Select the Password heading; Set Block simple passwords to Yes
