Title

The application must support organizational requirements to enforce the number of characters that get changed when passwords are changed. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Passwords need to be changed at specific policy based intervals. If the information system or application allows the user to consecutively reuse extensive portions of their password when they change their password, the end result is a password that has not had enough elements changed to meet the policy requirements. Rationale for non-applicability: This SRG does not impose any requirements for local authentication to mobile applications. Authentication to the mobile device is an acceptable proxy for authentication to the application on a single-user device. If the mobile application connects to a remote enterprise application, the remote application will enforce its authentication requirements.
