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 (firewalls) or Panorama > Administrators (Panorama), select an account, and then select the Password Profile.

Note:

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

To create a password profile, Add and specify the information in the following table.
