Remarks
Called by an application that is administering the device to set the minimum number of non-letter characters (numerical digits or symbols) required in the password. After setting this, the user will not be able to enter a new password that is not at least as restrictive as what has been set. Note that the current password will remain until the user has set a new one, so the change does not take place immediately. To prompt the user for a new password, use #ACTION_SET_NEW_PASSWORD or #ACTION_SET_NEW_PARENT_PROFILE_PASSWORD after setting this value. This constraint is only imposed if the administrator has also requested #PASSWORD_QUALITY_COMPLEX with #setPasswordQuality. If an app targeting SDK level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#R and above enforces this constraint without settings password quality to #PASSWORD_QUALITY_COMPLEX first, this method will throw IllegalStateException. The default value is 0.
On devices not supporting PackageManager#FEATURE_SECURE_LOCK_SCREEN feature, the password is always treated as empty.
The calling device admin must have requested DeviceAdminInfo#USES_POLICY_LIMIT_PASSWORD to be able to call this method; if it has not, a security exception will be thrown.
Apps targeting android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#R and below can call this method on the DevicePolicyManager instance returned by #getParentProfileInstance(ComponentName) in order to set restrictions on the parent profile.
<string>Note:</strong> this method is ignored on {PackageManager#FEATURE_AUTOMOTIVE automotive builds}.
This member is deprecated. see #setPasswordQuality(ComponentName, int) for details.
