Abstract

Disclosed are various examples for remotely managing passwords using local security policies. A client device can be enrolled with a management service. The management service then transmits a password policy requiring a password hint to be defined by the user. A management component executed on the client device can then enforce the password policy by requiring a user to define a password hint in order to access enterprise resources.
