You can configure the device unlock password only if Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android has been set as the device administrator.
You can impose restrictions on user activity on the device if the unlock password is weak (for example, lock the device). You can impose restrictions by using the Compliance Control component. To do so, in the scan rule settings, you must select the Unlock password is not compliant with security requirements criterion.
On certain Samsung devices running Android 7.0 or later, when the user attempts to configure unsupported methods for unlocking the device (such as a graphical password), the device may be locked if the following conditions are met: Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android removal protection is enabled and screen unlock password strength requirements are set. To unlock the device, you must send a special command to the device.
To set the unlock password on Android devices:
The Security profiles section contains a list of security profiles configured in Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud.
The security profile properties window displays settings available for all devices.
The password settings page opens.
You can select 4, 8, 12, or 16 characters.
This check box is cleared by default.
After you apply a security profile on the device, Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud checks it for an unlock password and tests the strength of the password. If no unlock password is set on the device or if the password strength does not meet the requirements, the user receives a notification that prompts him or her to set or change the password.
