Title

Windows Server 2025 manually managed application account passwords must be at least 15 characters in length.

Control

Determine if manually managed application/service accounts exist. If none exist, this is not applicable. Verify the organization has a policy to ensure passwords for manually managed application/service accounts are at least 15 characters in length. If such a policy does not exist or has not been implemented, this is a finding.

Discussion

Application/service account passwords must be of sufficient length to prevent being easily cracked. Application/service accounts that are manually managed must have passwords at least 15 characters in length.
