AWS wickr documentation change
Summary
Replaced em-dashes with en-dashes throughout the document and added a new 'Password complexity' configuration option under Security settings
Security assessment
The change adds documentation for a new password complexity feature allowing administrators to enforce stronger password requirements. While this enhances security by enabling better password policies, there's no evidence it addresses a specific vulnerability or incident.
