Requirement for Numeric Character in Passwords (QPWDRQDDGT)
The Requirement for Numeric Character in Passwords (QPWDRQDDGT) system value controls whether a numeric character is required in a new password. This value provides additional security by preventing users from using all alphabetic characters.
Notes:
- This system value is a restricted value. See Security system values for details on how to restrict changes to security system values and a complete list of the restricted system values.
- If the QPWDRULES system value specifies any value other than *PWDSYSVAL, this system value cannot be changed and its value will be ignored when new passwords are checked to see if they are formed correctly.
0 | Numeric characters are not required in new passwords. |
1 | One or more numeric characters are required in new passwords. |
Recommended value: 1
