Attributes

Remarks

Retrieve the current number of symbols required in the password for a particular admin or all admins that set restrictions on this user and its participating profiles. Restrictions on profiles that have a separate challenge are not taken into account. This is the same value as set by #setPasswordMinimumSymbols(ComponentName, int) and only applies when the password quality is #PASSWORD_QUALITY_COMPLEX.

On devices not supporting PackageManager#FEATURE_SECURE_LOCK_SCREEN feature, the password is always treated as empty.

This method can be called on the DevicePolicyManager instance returned by #getParentProfileInstance(ComponentName) in order to retrieve restrictions on the parent profile.

This member is deprecated. see #setPasswordQuality(ComponentName, int) for details.
