  • Minimum length: Minimum of 8 characters.
  • Restrict use: 6

Why each option

The password "P@$$w0rd" violates the Platform Service Controller Password Policy's "Identical adjacent characters: 0" requirement because it contains two consecutive identical '$' characters.

AMinimum length

The password "P@$$w0rd" has a length of 8 characters, which meets the specified "Minimum length: 8 characters" requirement.

BRestrict use

"Restrict use" typically refers to preventing the reuse of previous passwords, which is not violated by the inherent structure or content of "P@$$w0rd" itself.

CCharacter requirements

The password "P@$$w0rd" includes an uppercase letter (P), a number (0), and special characters (@, $), satisfying the "Character requirements".

DIdentical adjacent charactersCorrect

The password "P@$$w0rd" contains two identical adjacent special characters "$$", which directly violates the policy requirement of "Identical adjacent characters: 0". This setting specifies that no two identical characters should appear next to each other in the password.
