+module: fortios_user_password_policy
+short_description: Configure user password policy in Fortinet's FortiOS and FortiGate.
+description:
+    - This module is able to configure a FortiGate or FortiOS (FOS) device by allowing the
+      user to set and modify user feature and password_policy category.
+      Examples include all parameters and values need to be adjusted to datasources before usage.
+      Tested with FOS v6.0.5
+version_added: "2.9"
+author:
+    - Miguel Angel Munoz (@mamunozgonzalez)
