What is the default device password strength setting in a Cumulocity tenant? Can the device password strength be configured in Cumulocity? If so, how can it be set?

Hi @Vachaspati_Diwevedi2

it has been answered here already: [Edit password strength for Cumulocity Tenant](https://community.cumulocity.com/t/edit-password-strength-for-cumulocity-tenant/556)  
It’s an instance-wide configuration only changeable by the instance administrators / operators.

Hi @Stefan_Witschel , I think that password setting is for Tenant user password. Is the same setting applied for the devices user passwords?

Hi @Vachaspati_Diwevedi2

no and yes, the screen was taken from the device user page and yes to my knowledge the password policy applies for both and can only be changed on instance level.
