Passcode

Minimum Passcode Requirement

You can define the minimum passcode type required or allowed to create a passcode. The increasing order of security in the passcode type is Simple value->Numbers->Alphabet->Alphanumeric->Complex Value. On choosing a minimum required passcode type for example, as 'Numbers', then the passcode that is set on the device can contain numbers, alphabets, alphanumeric characters or complex values.

'Simple Value' enables you to set patterns, pin or passwords for the container.

On choosing 'Numbers', you can set either a pin or password for the container. The password can contain numbers, alphabets, alphanumeric or complex values.

'Alphabet' allows you to set only passwords for the container. The password can contain alphabets, alphanumeric or complex values.

The above passcode types are not applicable for KNOX 1.0. 

'Alphanumeric' passcode allows you to set a password that contains both numbers and alphabets. Special characters can also be included.

'Complex Value' type of passcode enables you to set a password that contains alphabets, numbers and at least one special character.

The above passcode types are applicable for all versions of KNOX.
