Hi Gayan,

In case if you want to have both, default password policies and custom
> password policies then you can keep both configurations are enabled.


When we have enabled both, default password policy and custom password
policy think of a scenario as below. From custom password policy we have
prohibited to use numbers and we enforce to use a number from the default
password policy. In such a scenario we can't adhere to both custom and
default password policies. Then do we overwrite the default password policy
from custom password policy?

Thanks,
