How MLPS Compliance Uses Password Policy to Guard Identity Access
Twenty minutes before the morning meeting, operations lead Xiao Li is asked a very ordinary question: who logged into the platform and changed last night's configuration?
He opens the audit records and sees a long-shared operations account. The login source can be found, and the operation time can be found, but nobody can immediately conclude which colleague, outsourcing engineer, or temporary helper was behind that account.
Worse, the password for this account has not been changed for a long time. Several people know it, and browsers may have saved it as well. Before the review meeting even begins, the question has already shifted from "who changed the configuration incorrectly" to "can this identity entrance still be trusted?"
Password policy is not there to make the login page look safer. It is there so accounts, passwords, sessions, and audits can connect into a traceable governance chain.
