Is there a way to force users to reset passcode without admin needing to give a temporary password.

    Okay thank you. We will go ahead with the following approach.
    1. Set Password Policy
    2. Set Policy enforcement rule for `passwordRequirement` with blockAction set to 0 days.

    3. Send Reset password command with empty/static password which is not compliant with passwordRequirement.

     

    That should block the user until they reset password.

Good question, Prathik and great to see you again.

 

Not sure which devices you are using, but an OEM config option for this might be a good thing to explore. For example, I've seen that Samsung Knox have a password policy, so perhaps other OEMs do too. 

 

It's a nice feature request though, I will create a FR for this as well. ðŸ˜€

 

It would be great to hear how you get on, if you can. 


Thanks,

Lizzie
