set minimal password length

Hi Guys,

I got a requirement story : set minimal password length 

When I checked the documents it is listed as set to 12 digits as per Servicenow Docs  (present we are using 8 digits)

link :: https://www.servicenow.com/docs/csh?topicname=sc-set-minimal-password-length.html&version=latest
I have tried creating a new system property as per the Servicenow docs and set the password policies default to 12.
While testing at password policies it is working , but when I try from (sys_user) table in list view I have tried to change the password it works even if I try with <12 characters.

Please help me with the testing part on this. Your inputs are welcomed.

Thanks in advance,

Regards 
Sai Cherry

Hello @SaiCherry ,

 

It seems that the "set.password.length" system property may no longer be in use. As such, Password Policies are the primary for setting password criteria.

 

In order to configure the desired criteria for passwords, you will need to create or modify a Password Policy (password_policy.do) that reflects their desired criteria.

 

To put the desired Password Policy into effect, navigate to All > Password Reset > Credentials Stores, select the credentials and change the Password policy field to the required policy input.
