Character requirements: At least one upper-case letter, one number, and one special character. Identical adjacent characters: 0. When trying to assign the password "P@$$w0rd", the administrator receives an error that the password does not meet the Password Policy requirements. Which part of the Password Policy does this password violate?
Options
- AMinimum length

Explanation
The password 'P@$$w0rd' violates the Identical Adjacent Characters rule because the two consecutive dollar signs '$$' constitute a pair of identical adjacent characters, and the policy explicitly requires zero such pairs.
Common mistakes.
- A. The password 'P@$$w0rd' is exactly 8 characters long, which satisfies the minimum length requirement of 8.
- B. The password contains 'P' (uppercase), '0' (number), and '@'/'$' (special characters), fulfilling all three character class requirements.
- C. Restrict use refers to password history reuse prevention - the policy value of 6 means the last 6 passwords cannot be reused, which cannot be violated by a brand new password assignment.
