  2. You can maintain a list of passwords that the user is most likely to use.
    For example, a user may tend to use the names of loved ones, the AMC or AMC branch, department, etc. as a password as they are easy to remember. This might be a security risk as it will be easy for another person to guess a password. To prevent this, you can maintain a list of passwords that the user should not use. This list of restrictive passwords will be checked before a password is accepted when the user is changing passwords. If the password entered by the user is listed, it will not be accepted.
  3. On Restrictive Passwords screen, specify the fields.
    For more information on fields, refer to the field description table.
