Passcode

Passcode #

The Apple passcode policy defines security requirements for device passcodes on visionOS devices. When a device is registered via user enrollment, a system-level restriction applies: if a passcode policy is configured, visionOS automatically enforces a complex passcode with at least six characters – regardless of other settings. As a result, certain configuration values may be ignored.

Still, the policy offers a wide range of options to further adapt passcode security. These include requirements for complexity, length, validity period, and the number of allowed failed attempts.

This requires at least visionOS 2.x.
