V-38572: The system must require at least four characters be changed between the old and new passwords during a password change.
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Requiring a minimum number of different characters during password changes
|
|
ensures that newly changed passwords should not resemble previously
|
|
compromised ones. Note that passwords which are changed on compromised systems
|
|
will still be compromised, however.
