Ensure "Minimum Passcode Length" is set to "15" or more

HighLevel 1Manual reviewintune-macos

Description

When configured to "15" or more, users must create passcodes that contain at least 15 characters when setting or changing their device passcode. The benchmark marks this a Manual check of an Intune macOS 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.

macOS: Intune admin center: Expand the Declarative Device Management (DDM) heading; Under the Passcode subheading; Verify that Minimum Passcode Length is present and set to 15 or more. On the device: Double-click Management Profile; Under the Device Declarations section; Click Passcode; Confirm Minimum length is set to 15 or more

How it is fixed

Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch

Intune admin center: Select Declarative Device Management (DDM) then Passcode; Check Minimum Passcode Length; On the left side of the page set Minimum Passcode Length to 15 or more; Verify that Minimum Passcode Length is present and set to 15 or more
