Repeating Characters Rule

The Repeating Characters rule rejects passwords that contain excessive character repetition. Reducing character repetition can increase resistance to both brute-force and dictionary cracking algorithms. The Repeating Characters rule is not case sensitive, so "mypaSssSword" contains four consecutive repeating characters (SssS).

Select the Enabled check box to enable the Repeating Characters rule.

Choose the maximum number of consecutive repeating characters that passwords can contain from the consecutive repeating characters drop-down list.
