Check Contents

Review the configuration to determine if the Samsung Android devices are enforcing a minimum password length of six characters.

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

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

On the Samsung Android device:
1. Open Settings >> Lock screen and AOD >> Screen lock and biometrics.
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 "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.
