Strong Passwords 
Strong passwords provide more secure local authentication for the 
system. Using strong passwords, you can specify the format of valid 
Dominion KX II local passwords such as minimum and maximum length, 
required characters, and password history retention. 
Strong passwords require user-created passwords to have a minimum of 
8 characters with at least one alphabetical character and one 
nonalphabetical character (punctuation character or number). In addition, 
the first four characters of the password and the user name cannot 
match.  
When selected, strong password rules are enforced. Users with 
passwords not meeting strong password criteria will automatically be 
required to change their password on their next login. When deselected, 
only the standard format validation is enforced. When selected, the 
following fields are enabled and required:
