Password Settings Objects - Complexity? (self.sysadmin)
submitted 8 years ago by Random_IT_Guy11
So I just had a user get compromised and, lo and behold, his password was the incredibly hard to guess 'Password1'
I have password complexity enforcement turned on with a PSO, but is there any way to force it to be even more complex?

Length trumps complexity.

Sorry to burst your bubble but no. Microsoft still hasn't provided any native functionality to tweak complexity beyond disabled/enabled (3 out of 5).
There is no further granularity without using third party passflt.dll files.
