Device > Password Profiles Panorama > Password Profiles

Select Device > Password Profiles or Panorama > Password Profiles to set basic password requirements for individual local accounts. Password profiles override any Minimum Password Complexity settings you defined for all local accounts ( Device > Setup > Management).

To apply a password profile to an account, select Device > Administrators (for firewalls) or Panorama > Administrators (for Panorama), select an account, and then select the Password Profile.

You cannot assign password profiles to administrative accounts that use local database authentication (see Device > Local User Database > Users).

To create a password profile, click Add and enter the following information.
