Ensure Password Minimum Length Is Configured
Descrição
A minimum password length is the fewest number of characters a password can contain to meet a system's requirements. Ensure that a minimum of a 15-character password is part of the password policy on the computer. Where the confidentiality of encrypted information in FileVault is more of a concern, requiring a longer password or passphrase may be sufficient rather than imposing additional complexity requirements that may be self-defeating. Information systems that are not protected with strong password schemes including passwords of minimum length provide a greater opportunity for attackers to crack the password and gain access to the system.

compliant
Como é corrigido
Método de correção: Orientação ou patch de infraestrutura
Terminal Method: Run the following command to set the password length to greater than or equal to 15: % /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/pwpolicy -n /Local/Default -setglobalpolicy "minChars=<value≥15>" example: % /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/pwpolicy -n /Local/Default -setglobalpolicy "minChars=15" Profile Method: Create or edit a configuration profile with the following information: 1. The PayloadType string is com.apple.mobiledevice.passwordpolicy 2. The key to include is minLength 3. The key must be set to <integer><value≥15></integer> Note: The profile method is the preferred method for setting password policy since - setglobalpolicy in pwpolicy is deprecated and will likely be removed in a future macOS release.
