Restricting the Password Length

You can restrict the minimum and maximum length of the user password. This feature enables you to increase
system security by forcing the user to provide a strong password.
Before you begin
You must enable password strength checking using the password strength-check command. If you restrict
the password length but do not enable password strength checking and the user enters a password that is not
within the restricted length, an error appears, but a user account is created. To enforce the password length
and prevent a user account from being created, you must enable password strength checking and restrict the
password length.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. [no] userpassphrase {min-length min-length | max-length max-length}
3. (Optional) show userpassphrase {length | max-length | min-length}
4. (Optional) copy running-config startup-config
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Restricts the maximum number of simultaneous login
sessions per user. The range is from 1 to 7. If you set the
maximum login limit as 1, only one Telnet or SSH session
is allowed per user.
The configured login limit applies to all users.
Note
You cannot set a different limit for individual
users.
