If
you choose, you can define password patterns for fields. Note however,
that defining a specific pattern may make passwords more vulnerable
to attack as it reduces the possible character combinations that
may be used. If you want to define a pattern, use these symbols.
Note:
The comma (,), dash (-), colon (:), slash (/),
period (.), and space ( ) are treated as literal values and can
be included anywhere in a pattern.
