The system must require passwords to contain no more than three consecutive repeating characters.

Complex passwords can reduce the likelihood of success of automated password-guessing attacks.

Check the MAXREPEATS setting.

# grep ^MAXREPEATS /etc/default/passwd

If the MAXREPEATS setting is greater than 3, this is a finding.

The root role is required. # pfedit /etc/default/passwd

Locate the line containing:

MAXREPEATS

Change the line to read:

MAXREPEATS=3
