This policy helps secure corporate and personal iOS devices and enforces settings for passcode length, complexity, failed attempts, and more. Devices must be enrolled in MDM to use this policy. After the MDM enrollment profile is installed, the user has 60 minutes to enter a passcode that meets the restrictions in this policy. If the user does not comply within the time limit, the user is forced to change the passcode.

To create a Passcode Restrictions policy for iOS<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal: https:\/\/console.jumpcloud.com\/login<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Go to DEVICE MANAGEMENT<\/strong> > Policy Management<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. In the All<\/strong> tab, click (+<\/strong>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. On the New Policy panel, select the iOS<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Select the Passcode Restrictions<\/strong> policy from the list, then click configure<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Under Settings<\/strong>, select Allow simple passcodes<\/strong> to enable sequential and repeated characters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Select Require alphanumeric<\/strong> to require the user to enter at least one number and one letter. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Select Force PIN<\/strong> to require the user to enter a passcode to access the iPhone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Select\u00a0Set max failed attempts<\/strong>\u00a0to set the number of allowed failed attempts to enter the passcode.\u00a0Valid values include 2-11.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p><\/div>

    Note:<\/strong> \n

    If you don\u2019t change this setting, the passcode time delay increases with each failed attempt and after 6 failed attempts a time delay is imposed before a passcode can be entered again.\u00a0 If you set this value to 6 or lower, no time delay is imposed and all data and settings on the device are securely erased from the iOS device when the attempt limit is exceeded.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Select\u00a0Set max grace period<\/strong>\u00a0to determine when the iPhone can be unlocked again after use, without prompting again for the passcode.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p><\/div>

      Note:<\/strong> \n

      The default is 0, which means there is no grace period and each use requires a passcode.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Select\u00a0Set max inactivity\u00a0<\/strong>to determine how many minutes an unlocked\u00a0device can be idle\u00a0before it is locked.\u00a0Valid values include 1-15.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p><\/div>

        Note:<\/strong> \n

        When the maximum defined number\u00a0of minutes is reached, the device is locked and the passcode must be re-entered.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Select Set max PIN age<\/strong> to require a user to change their passcode after a specified number of days. Valid values include 0 – 730 days. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. In the\u00a0Minimum complex characters\u00a0<\/strong>field, enter the\u00a0number of non-alphanumeric characters the passcode must contain.\u00a0Valid values include 1-4.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          <\/p><\/div>

          Note:<\/strong> \n

          A complex character is a character other than a number or letter, such as &, !, and %.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. In the\u00a0Minimum length<\/strong>\u00a0field, enter the\u00a0number of previous passcodes that are remembered and compared.\u00a0Valid values include 1-50.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            <\/p><\/div>

            Note:<\/strong> \n

            A new passcode is not allowed if it matches a previously-used passcode.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. (Optional) Select the Device Groups<\/strong> tab. Select one or more device groups where you’ll apply this policy. For device groups with multiple OS member types, the policy is applied only to the supported OS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. (Optional) Select the Devices<\/strong> tab. Select one or more devices where you’ll apply this policy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

              <\/p><\/div>

              Note:<\/strong> \n

              After you create and bind an iOS policy to a device, you do not need to activate the policy; every iOS policy is effective immediately.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
