Discussion

Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. To meet password policy requirements, passwords need to be changed at specific policy-based intervals. If the information system or application allows the user to consecutively reuse their password when that password has exceeded its defined lifetime, the end result is a password that is not changed as per policy requirements.

3. Verify "Enforce Password History (Last 4 passwords)" is enabled.

If "Enforce Password History (Last 4 passwords)" is not enabled, this is a finding.
