We’re thrilled to announce a few new additions to the Passcode policy for macOS devices. These options, Maximum failed attempts and Lockout duration, will allow IT admins to set the number of failed attempts at entering the password after which the device should lock up and the duration of the lockup period during which users shouldn’t attempt to log in to the device, respectively.
But it doesn’t end there. We’re also introducing an option for IT admins to set a custom regular expression for the passwords. Regular expressions provide a wide range of possibilities to set conditions on the passwords that can be set on the device. For instance, IT admins can use this option to restrict users from using commonly used passwords, or repeated letters or numbers in a password. They can use the Regular expression content description option to describe the condition set in the Regular expression field.
We hope you find these new additions useful, do let us know what you think of them.
Best regards,
Chloe Edison
