View Full Version : Password Strength


=?Utf-8?B?S2VpdGhATWVpc3Rlcg==?=
When using Active Directory, and with group policy passwords. Is it possible to set certain words so they are excluded as being viable passwords?

ie can you make a list of words that can not be used and the policy will automatically prevent users from using these words as passwords?

You will need to write your own custom pasfilt.dll or use a third party
program to do that. --- Steve
