Type a description.
This description identifies the expression on the policy configuration page, and is also displayed to users when they enter new passwords. Depending on the status, Bravura Security Fabric prepends "The password should” or "The password must” to the message to display to users; for example:

∧ [Ss][Aa][Pp]Select ”Accept matching passwords” or ”Reject matching passwords”.
