Password levels -- What's right for you?
[Search400.com]
by Rich Loeber
Since the introduction of OS/400 V5R1, a new system value for "Password Level" has been available (QPWDLVL). This new value lets you have additional control over the kinds of passwords you use on your system and how the system treats them. Using the new features provided through this new value, you can implement passwords of up to 128 characters in length.
But why would anyone want a password that long? Here are some reasons.
