Title

Prohibit Repeating, Ascending, and Descending Character Sequences

Discussion

The iOS device _MUST_ be configured to prohibit the use of repeating, ascending, and descending character sequences when a passcode is created.

This rule enforces password complexity by requiring users to set passcodes that are less vulnerable to malicious users.
