Zebra Android 11 must be configured to not allow passwords that include more than four repeating or sequential characters.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute force attacks. Passwords that contain repeating or sequential characters are significantly easier to guess than those that do not contain repeating or sequential characters. Therefore, disallowing repeating or sequential characters increases password strength and decreases risk. The numeric (complex) setting allows the use of a numeric only keyboard for passwords and enforces the repeating or sequential characters limitation.
