Strange passcode dialog: feature or malware?

Had this issue today. Found out that it is part of my company's safety requirements, that the password is changed every x months, so it just pops out of nowhere from time to time, asking to create a new one. (Due to email and calendar safety)

an iphone won't have any malware unless it has been jailbroken (not to be confused with being unlocked).

I have had the same message today, only the once, phone fully upto date etc.

I had the same message yesterday. I clicked continue and it allowed me to change my password.

But I have had the same message again twice more?!

Does anyone have any idea what this is?

Thanks

Have you installed a network profile before?

If you have and you are no longer using the profile, remove it. Settings->General->Profile tap and Remove.

If you are still using the network, the profile is required for your contiued use and the password updates are part of the policy.

My wife got the same message on her iPhone 4 tonight. I find it odd that there's really nothing on the internets about this. Did anyone ever find an acceptable answer?

Sorry Leftyjenkins, didn't really get anything on this and all still seems fine.

I have a reconditioned phone sent to me from my insurance company. I have been using it for around a month and have just had the exact sane message as your self appear. I was also concerned that someone was trying to access my phone as my previous phone was stolen!

I had this come up today. In changing my passcode, I was required to go from 4 to 6 or more characters, which was a change just announced by our corporate IT, so I'm suspecting those seeing this message are getting it due to policies being implemented that way, in my case through the Maas360 app the IT folks installed to sandbox my personal phone.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry if I sound dumb here, I'm not overly phone savvy. In layman terms are you saying you employer is tracking what you do etc on your iPhone?

Sorry if I have misunderstood your message, I am curious as some of us recently discovered a clause in our contract of employment that meant our employer had permission to check our phone history should they wish for security purposes etc. Am wondering if this is the same thing. Thanks for your reply though.

My iPhone 4 running OS7.0.4 NOT jailbroken, it has just popped up with the same strange message and this is a personal phone not linked to any corporate email account or mobile device management solution and not using and profiles. I work in IT security and it's either a weird bug or a very clever and nasty bit of malware.

Anyone else seeing this on a personal phone that is not linked to any corporate email service or MDM/policy service, not using profiles and not jail broken?

I am still having this problem. And yes, my phone is personal and not connected to anyone else in anyway.

I am in the exact same situation, entirely personal phone and I had this pop up today.

Very confused

So you don't have it set up to get your email from work?
