Devices must be enrolled in MDM to use this policy. After the MDM enrollment profile is installed, the user has 60 minutes to enter a passcode that meets the restrictions in this policy. If the user does not comply within the time limit, the user is forced to change the passcode.
To create a Passcode Restrictions policy for iOS:
- Log in to the 探花大神 Admin Portal: .
- Go to DEVICE MANAGEMENT > Policy Management.
- In the All tab, click (+).
- On the New Policy panel, select the iOS tab.
- Select the Passcode Restrictions policy from the list, then click configure.
- Under Settings, select Allow simple passcodes to enable sequential and repeated characters.
- Select Require alphanumeric to require the user to enter at least one number and one letter.
- Select Force PIN to require the user to enter a passcode to access the iPhone.
- 厂别濒别肠迟听Set max failed attempts聽to set the number of allowed failed attempts to enter the passcode.聽Valid values include 2-11.
If you don鈥檛 change this setting, the passcode time delay increases with each failed attempt and after 6 failed attempts a time delay is imposed before a passcode can be entered again.聽 If you set this value to 6 or lower, no time delay is imposed and all data and settings on the device are securely erased from the iOS device when the attempt limit is exceeded.
- 厂别濒别肠迟听Set max grace period聽to determine when the iPhone can be unlocked again after use, without prompting again for the passcode.
The default is 0, which means there is no grace period and each use requires a passcode.聽
- 厂别濒别肠迟听Set max inactivity聽to determine how many minutes an unlocked聽device can be idle聽before it is locked.聽Valid values include 1-15.
When the maximum defined number聽of minutes is reached, the device is locked and the passcode must be re-entered.聽
- Select Set max PIN age to require a user to change their passcode after a specified number of days. Valid values include 0 - 730 days.
- In the聽Minimum complex characters聽field, enter the聽number of non-alphanumeric characters the passcode must contain.聽Valid values include 1-4.
A complex character is a character other than a number or letter, such as &, !, and %.聽
- In the聽Minimum length聽field, enter the聽number of previous passcodes that are remembered and compared.聽Valid values include 1-50.
A new passcode is not allowed if it matches a previously-used passcode.
- (Optional) Select the Device Groups tab. Select one or more device groups where you'll apply this policy. For device groups with multiple OS member types, the policy is applied only to the supported OS.
- (Optional) Select the Devices tab. Select one or more devices where you'll apply this policy.

After you create and bind an iOS policy to a device, you do not need to activate the policy; every iOS policy is effective immediately.
