Belarc Advisor (Store Passwords using Reversible Encryption)
- by Steve
Hi,
I'm using Belarc Advisor to examine my PC. Part of BA is a security benchmark summary, which examines components of windows security and provides a benchmark rating.
Two items are marked as Fail:
- Store Passwords using Reversible Encryption
- Password History Size
I have opened the Local Security Settings tool from the Control Panel Administrative Tools, and ensured that the "Store passwords using reversible encryption" setting is enabled. Also, I've set the password history to a number. So I'm a bit miffed about the Fail marks.
Any idea why the Fail marks appear?
Any clues how I can Pass them?
Thanks,
Steve.
