RSA Authentication Manager provides the ability to import a
password dictionary file through the Security Console A password dictionary is a text file that contains words that cannot be used as PINs or as passwords. Using a text string defined in this file as a PIN will generate the errors above.
Train end users to use more complex PINs that are not included in the password dictionary file. See
