MORPH AGE PRO 4.1.1 PASSWORD
Setting the number of days to 0 allows immediate password changes. This setting is not recommended.Ĭombining immediate password changes with password history allows someone to change a password repeatedly until the password history requirement is met and re-establish the original password again.įor example, suppose a password is "Ra1ny day!" and the history requirement is 24. If the minimum password age is 0, the password can be changed 24 times in a row until finally changed back to "Ra1ny day!". The minimum password age of 1 day prevents that. If you set a password for a user and you want that user to change the administrator-defined password, you must select the User must change password at next logon check box.

MORPH AGE PRO 4.1.1 HOW TO
This section describes how an attacker might exploit a feature or its configuration, how to implement the countermeasure, and the possible negative consequences of countermeasure implementation. Users may have favorite passwords that they like to use because they are easy to remember and they believe that their password choice is secure from compromise. Unfortunately, passwords can be compromised and if an attacker is targeting a specific individual user account, with knowledge of data about that user, reuse of old passwords can cause a security breach. To address password reuse, you must use a combination of security settings. Using this policy setting with the Enforce password history policy setting prevents the easy reuse of old passwords. For example, if you configure the Enforce password history policy setting to ensure that users cannot reuse any of their last 12 passwords, but you do not configure the Minimum password age policy setting to a number that is greater than 0, users could change their password 13 times in a few minutes and reuse their original password.
Configure this policy setting to a number that is greater than 0 for the Enforce password history policy setting to be effective.
CountermeasureĬonfigure the Minimum password age policy setting to a value of 1 day.
Users should know about this limitation and contact the Help Desk to change a password sooner. If you configure the number of days to 0, immediate password changes would be allowed, which we do not recommend. If you set a password for a user but want that user to change the password when the user first logs on, the administrator must select the User must change password at next logon check box, or the user cannot change the password until the next day.09 April 2008 Creaceed ships Morph Age Regular/Pro 4.0
