Setting Minimum Password Length

The Minimum Password Length is the minimum number of digits that a user can specify when setting a password for his/her mailbox. The Minimum Password Length also applies to the System Administration password. The range is 0 – 15 digits.

The shorter the Minimum Password Length, the more vulnerable the system is to abuse by unauthorized persons. Choosing the longest acceptable minimum password length maximizes the security of the system. The factory-set Minimum Password Length is 6 digits.

 


Note:

If you attempt to set a minimum length of less than 6 digits, the system will:

  • Remind you that at least 6 digits is recommended.
  • Advise you about system vulnerability.
