Re-definition: Complexity Requirements "full name that exceed two consecutive characters"

Question

Hi,

I am trying to understand the specifics of the AD-full name that exceed two consecutive characters strategy. I found and read this document, and after trying it out in a real environment, I came across some documentation（https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/msdn-technet-forums/d52f28d5-5c3f-4e06-b384-7fbee4707b6e & https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-10/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/password-must-meet-complexity-requirements）. I would like to consult for more clarification and a clearer definition.

"When I found the following example in the article（https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/msdn-technet-forums/d52f28d5-5c3f-4e06-b384-7fbee4707b6e）: 'the name "Joey M. Williams" would be split into three tokens: "Joey," "M," and "Williams." Because the second token is only one character long, it would be ignored. Therefore, this user could not have a password that included either "Joey" or "Williams" as a substring anywhere in the password.

I would like to confirm whether 'two consecutive characters' refers to two substrings like in the example: 'Joey + Williams,' or if it refers to any two characters from 'Joey' or 'Williams.' Please help me determine if the following passwords can be successfully changed:

1、JoeP@w0rd

2、JoeyP@w0rd

3、 WilP@w0rd

4、WilliamsP@w0rd

Thanks.
