8. Check the box for 'Microsoft Encrypted Authentication version 2 (MS-CHAP-v2)’.
9. Click 'OK' to save the changes.
10. Apply the changes and test the configuration.

By following these steps, you can configure MAB for NPS to enforce password complexity requirements, thereby enhancing the security of your network.
