You configure Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Password Protection as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit tab.) You are evaluating the following passwords: ✑ Pr0jectlitw@re ✑ T@ilw1nd ✑ C0nt0s0 Which passwords will be blocked?
After normalization we have :
✑ Pr0jectlitw@re - > projectlitware = 2 points
✑ T@ilw1nd -> tailwind =1 point
✑ C0nt0s0 -> contoso = 1 point
You need 5 points therefore everything is blocked.
(!) Not at all related, this is from my own internal playing around to understand the scoring system::
Funny how Tailw111nd is accepted with a banned word of "Tailwind".
I assume this is because: Tailw + l + l + l + nd = 5 points?
But then I tried a combination of appended strings: Tailw1nd + (strings)
Tailw1ndadcb accepted (4+ characters had to be appended).
I assume "Tailwind + a + d + c + b" = 5 points.
So is it 1 = L or 1 = i?
And if it is 1 = L, how come Tailw1ndadcb didn't match similar to the previous?
Tailw + l + nd + a + d + c + b
Microsoft has it specified as:
Original letter Substituted letter
0 o
1 l (This is an L, not an i)
$ s
@ a
There's no Microsoft examples for cases of 'special characters' being inserted mid-string in the banned character list. That's what sprung my suspicions. I'd love it if someone could link an article to support this.
After theoretical testing, I tried the following:
Tailw%nd! - Password Accepted
Tailwlnd! - Password Rejected
Tailwgnd! - Password Accepted
This means that L must be nominalized to L = i = 1...
God this would've saved me a lot of time had Microsoft just included this in their docs.
so "Tailw111nd" = "Tailwi + i + i + n + d = 5 points.
"Tailw1ndadcb" = "Tailwind + a + d + c + b" = 5 points
"Tailw%nd!" = "Tailw + % + n + d + !" = 5 points
"Tailwlnd!" = "Tailwind + !" = 2 points (This was rejected)
"Tailwgnd!" = "Tailw + g + n + d + !" = 5 points
I can only assume it works off of substrings like this, as it's the only way that makes sense.
Last thing to test was to knock off the start of the substring character to see if it holds true:
"Tgilwind!" Password Accepted.
"Failwind!" Password Accepted.
Use this as reference as you will...
Tested on Tenant. First two are blocked because of the policy but C0nt0s0 states "We've seen that password too many times before. Choose something harder to guess." Also, if you were to try to reset it as an admin in the portal, it's too short.
Correct answer C. I tested all 3 in my lab and they were all blocked. The first 2 are blocked based on policy but the last on is only 7 characters so it didn't meet the password minimum characters of 8.
normalization process occurs and multiple variants of a single character are normalized like:
@ - a
$ - s
1 - i
so all three are going to be blocked because those words are already included in custom banned password list
