By defining rules for password type, length, and complexity, organizations can enhance security, protect sensitive enterprise data, and ensure compliance with internal or industry standards. --- ### **Key Benefits** - **Device Protection** – Enforce strong password rules to safeguard sensitive enterprise information. - **Compliance** – Meet organizational and regulatory security requirements with configurable policies. - **Control** – Define password type, minimum length, and complexity to suit security needs. --- ### **Step 1 - Access the Password Menu** ![](https://learn.springdel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-10-2025-03-33-50-7861-PM.png?width=670&height=330&name=image-png-Aug-10-2025-03-33-50-7861-PM.png) 1. **Log in** to your Springdel console. 2. Navigate to the **Profiles** section from the left-hand menu. 3. Click the **“Create New Profile +”** button and select **Android** **Edge** as the device type. 4. In the profile sidebar, click **Password** and toggle the **Password Enabled** switch to **On**. --- ### **Step 2 - Configure Password Features** Once the Password option is enabled, configure the password policy: 1. **Password Quality**: Choose the type of password. - **Alphabetic** – Only letters allowed. - **Alphanumeric** – Letters and numbers. - **Complex** – Includes letters, numbers, and symbols. 2. **Password Length**: Define the minimum number of characters required (e.g., 4 characters minimum). 3. **Minimum Number of Complex Characters Required**: Specify the minimum count of complex characters (e.g., symbols like !@#) to increase password strength. - Example: A value of 0 means no complex characters are required. --- ### **Step 3 - Associate the Profile** 1. Once your profile is configured with the desired password policy, associate the profile with the target **fleet**. 2. Once associated, the password policy will be deployed on all devices in that fleet according to the profile settings. --- ### **Best Practices & Tips** - **Balance Security and Usability**: Set rules that protect devices without making passwords overly difficult to remember. - **Use Complex Passwords for Sensitive Fleets**: Require alphanumeric and symbol characters for high-security devices. - **Review Policies Regularly**: Update password requirements to align with evolving security standards. - **Communicate Requirements to Users**: Ensure device users understand the password rules to prevent lockouts. - [Springmatic Overview](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/springmatic-overview?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Alerts](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/springmatic-overview?hsLang=en#alerts) - [Dashboard](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/springmatic-overview?hsLang=en#dashboard) - [File Management](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/springmatic-overview?hsLang=en#file-management) - [Sign-in Options](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/springmatic-overview?hsLang=en#sign-in-options) - [Type of OS](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/springmatic-overview?hsLang=en#type-of-os) - [User & Group Management](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/springmatic-overview?hsLang=en#user-group-management) - [Android Edge](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/android-edge?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Enrollment](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/android-edge?hsLang=en#enrollment) - [Profile Options](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/android-edge?hsLang=en#profile-options) - [Miscellaneous](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/android-edge?hsLang=en#miscellaneous) - [Android Enterprise](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/android-enterprise?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Enrollment](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/android-enterprise?hsLang=en#enrollment) - [Profile](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/android-enterprise?hsLang=en#profile) - [iOS](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/ios?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Enrollment](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/ios?hsLang=en#enrollment) - [Profile](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/ios?hsLang=en#profile) - [Windows](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/windows?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Enrollment](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/windows?hsLang=en#enrollment) - [Troubleshooting](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Android Edge](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#android-edge) - [Tickets](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#tickets) - [Support](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge/support?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://learn.springdel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/springdel-blue-large.png?width=106&height=24&name=springdel-blue-large.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://learn.springdel.com/knowledge?hsLang=en) Springmatic Knowledge Base Copyright © 2026, Springdel Technologies
