Unrestricted user access to the application and its settings can reduce the security level of the device. Password protection allows to limit user access to the application.
In the main Kaspersky Security Center Web Console window select Devices → Policies and profiles.
Select the policy you want to configure.
In the <Policy name> window that opens, select the Application settings tab.
In the Application settings section select the Security settings subsection.
In the Password protection group of settings select the Apply password protection check box.
Enter a password and confirm it.
It is recommended to select the password that meets the following requirements:
Password must be at least 8 characters long.
Password must not contain user account name.
Password must not match the name of the device on which Kaspersky Endpoint Agent is installed.
Password must contain characters from at least three of the following groups:
uppercase characters (A-Z);
lowercase characters (A-Z) (a-z);
numbers (0-9);
special characters (!$#%).
If you configure the policy settings, in the upper right corner of the group of settings, change the switch from Undefined to Forced.
Click OK.
Click the Save button.
Password protection is enabled. If a user attempts to perform a password protected action, the application prompts the user to enter the password.
The application does not check the strength of the specified password. We recommend that you use third-party tools to verify the strength of the password. The password is considered strong enough, if verification results confirm that the password cannot be guessed for at least 6 months.
The application does not prohibit from entering password after many attempts of entering incorrect password.
