Fix Recommendation

Configure Samsung Android to enforce a minimum password length of six characters.

On the management tool, in the device password requirements section, set the "minimum password length" to "6".

Check Contents

Review Samsung Android device configuration settings to determine if the mobile device is enforcing a minimum password length of six characters.

This validation procedure is performed on both the management tool Administration Console and the Samsung Android device.

On the management tool, in the device password requirements section, verify the "minimum password length" is set to "6".

On the Samsung Android device, do the following:
1. Open Settings >> Lock screen >> Screen lock type.
2. Enter current password.
3. Tap "PIN".
4. Verify the text "PIN must contain at least", followed by a value of at least "6 digits", appears above the PIN entry.

If on the management tool the "minimum password length" is not set to "6", or on the Samsung Android device the text "PIN must contain at least" is followed by a value of less than "6 digits", this is a finding.
