TOSS must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one lowercase character be used.
Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resistin...Rule Medium Severity -

SRG-OS-000075-GPOS-00043
Group -
TOSS must enforce 24 hours/one day as the minimum password lifetime.
Enforcing a minimum password lifetime helps to prevent repeated password changes to defeat the password reuse or history enforcement requirement. If users are allowed to immediately and continually...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-OS-000076-GPOS-00044
Group -
TOSS must enforce a 60-day maximum password lifetime restriction.
Any password, no matter how complex, can eventually be cracked. Therefore, passwords need to be changed periodically. If the operating system does not limit the lifetime of passwords and force user...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-OS-000078-GPOS-00046
Group -
TOSS must enforce a minimum 15-character password length.
The shorter the password, the lower the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectivene...Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
TOSS must cover or disable the built-in or attached camera when not in use.
It is detrimental for operating systems to provide, or install by default, functionality exceeding requirements or mission objectives. These unnecessary capabilities or services are often overlooke...Rule Medium Severity -

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
