What can I do with this system value?
You can specify whether adjacent numeric characters are allowed in a password. A value of 0 indicates that adjacent characters are allowed, and a value of 1 indicates that adjacent numeric characters are not allowed. This option provides additional security by preventing users from using birthdays, telephone numbers, or a sequence of numbers as passwords.
