The VMM must enforce 24 hours/one day as the minimum password lifetime.

Rule version SRG-OS-000075-VMM-000420 · STIG v2 · 2026-09-04

Discussion

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 change their password, then the password could be repeatedly changed in a short period of time to defeat the organization's policy regarding password reuse.

Check

Verify the VMM enforces 24 hours/one day as the minimum password lifetime.

If it does not, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure the VMM to enforce 24 hours/one day as the minimum password lifetime.
