Password
These settings use the Passcode payload (opens Apple's web site).
Important
- On macOS devices running 10.14.2 to 11.x (except all versions of macOS 10.15 Catalina), users are prompted to change the device password when the device updates to a new major OS version. This password update happens once. After users update the password, any other password policies are enforced. If a passcode is required in at least one policy, then this behavior only occurs for the local machine user.
- Any time the password policy is updated, all users running these macOS versions must change the password, even if the current password is compliant with the new requirements. For example, when your macOS device turns on after upgrading to Big Sur (macOS 11), users need to change the device password before they can sign in.
Settings apply to: All enrollment types
- Require password: Yes requires users to enter a password to access devices. When set to Not configured (default), Intune doesn't change or update this setting. By default, the OS might not require a password. It also doesn't force any restrictions, such as blocking simple passwords or setting a minimum length.
- Required password type: Enter the required password complexity level your organization requires. When left blank, Intune doesn't change or update this setting. Your options:
- Not configured: Uses the device default.
- Alphanumeric: Includes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numeric characters.
- Numeric: Password must only be numbers, such as 123456789.
This feature applies to:- macOS 10.10.3 and newer
- Number of non-alphanumeric characters in password: Enter the number of complex characters required in the password, from 0-4. A complex character is a symbol, such as
?
. When left blank or set to Not configured, Intune doesn't change or update this setting. - Minimum password length: Enter the minimum length the password must have, from 4-16 characters. When left blank, Intune doesn't change or update this setting.
- Block simple passwords: Yes prevents using simple passwords, such as
0000
or1234
. When the value is blank or set to Not configured, Intune doesn't change or update this setting. By default, the OS might allow simple passwords. - Maximum minutes of inactivity until screen locks: Enter the length of time devices must be idle before the screen is automatically locked. For example, enter
5
to lock devices after 5 minutes of being idle. When the value is blank or set to Not configured, Intune doesn't change or update this setting. - Maximum minutes after screen lock before password is required: Enter the length of time devices must be inactive before a password is required to unlock it. When the value is blank or set to Not configured, Intune doesn't change or update this setting.
- Password expiration (days): Enter the number of days until the device password must be changed, from 1-65535. For example, enter
90
to expire the password after 90 days. When the password expires, users are prompted to create a new password. When the value is blank or set to Not configured, Intune doesn't change or update this setting. - Prevent reuse of previous passwords: Restrict users from creating previously used passwords. Enter the number of previously used passwords that can't be used, from 1-24. For example, enter 5 so users can't set a new password to their current password or any of their previous four passwords. When the value is blank, Intune doesn't change or update this setting.
- Maximum allowed sign-in attempts: Enter the maximum number of times that users can consecutively try to sign in before the device locks users out, from 2-11. When this number is exceeded, the device is locked. We recommend not setting this value to a low number, such as
2
or3
. It's common for users to enter the wrong password. We recommend setting to a higher value.For example, enter5
so users can enter the wrong password up to five times. After the fifth attempt, the device is locked. If you leave this value blank, or don't change it, then11
is used by default.After six failed attempts, macOS automatically forces a time delay before a passcode can be entered again. The delay increases with each attempt. Set the Lockout duration to add a delay before the next passcode can be entered.- Lockout duration: Enter the number of minutes a lockout lasts, from 0-10000. During a device lockout, the sign in screen is inactive, and users can't sign in. When the lockout ends, user can try to sign in again.If you leave this value blank, or don't change it, then
30
minutes is used by default.This setting applies to:- macOS 10.10 and newer
- Block user from modifying passcode: Yes stops the passcode from being changed, added, or removed. When set to Not configured (default), Intune doesn't change or update this setting. By default, the OS might allow passcodes to be added, changed, or removed.

- Users aren't prompted to use a saved password in Safari or in any apps.
- Automatic Strong Passwords are disabled, and strong passwords aren't suggested to users.
When set to Not configured (default), Intune doesn't change or update this setting. By default, the OS might allow these features. - Block password proximity requests: Yes prevents devices from requesting passwords from nearby devices. When set to Not configured (default), Intune doesn't change or update this setting. By default, the OS might allow these password requests.
- Block password sharing: Yes prevents sharing passwords between devices using AirDrop. When set to Not configured (default), Intune doesn't change or update this setting. By default, the OS might allow passwords to be shared.
Privacy preferences
![Ascent (jeanrouch) mac os download Ascent (jeanrouch) mac os download](https://img.informer.com/screenshots_mac/13/13460_7_4.png)
On macOS devices, apps and processes often prompt users to allow or deny access to device features, such as the camera, microphone, calendar, Documents folder, and more. These settings allow administrators to pre-approve or pre-deny access to these device features. When you configure these settings, you manage data access consent on behalf of your users. Your settings override their previous decisions.
The goal of these settings is to reduce the number of prompts by apps and processes.
