User Guidelines
The setting is relevant to local user passwords, line passwords, and enable
passwords.
The software checks the minimum length requirement when defining a
password in an unencrypted format, or when a user tries to log in.
Note that if a password is inserted in encrypted format, the minimum length
requirement is checked during user login only.
Passwords that were defined before defining the minimum length
requirement are only checked during user login.
Example
The following example configures the minimal required password length to 8
characters.
console(config)# passwords min-length 8
