To ensure your system's security, administrators must enforce a strong user password
policy for every user account created in Security Center.
What you should know
A strong password policy aligns with the best practices published by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Password complexity requirements apply to
all new passwords, and take effect when a user changes their current
password.
