Export a Password Dictionary

The password dictionary is a text file that contains words that cannot be used as passwords. When an administrator or user creates or changes a user's password, the password is validated against the password dictionary. If the new password matches any words found in the password dictionary, the password is not accepted.

To make a copy of the password dictionary for your deployment, export the dictionary.

Before you begin

Verify that the password dictionary file is smaller than 200 MB.
