Forbidden Passwords IT policy rule

Description

This rule specifies the passwords that a BlackBerry® device user cannot use. Separate multiple passwords with a comma (,). By default, a BlackBerry device prevents a user from configuring passwords that use a natural sequence of characters or numbers. The device also automatically prevents common letter substitutions. For example, if you include "password" in the forbidden passwords list, users cannot use "p@ssw0rd", "pa$zword", or "password123" on the device.
