This plugin will change the behavior of all password fields on IPS4, allowing the administrator to set the minimum length for the passwords. IPS4 default is 3 characters, this plugin will allow you to alter this.
This does work alongside the built-in IPS password strength meter just fine.
It will change the length in all places that uses password, like:
- Registration screen
- Account Settings -> Password
- etc.
Notes:
- Existing Users: No changes to their existing passwords. If their password is reset or they change it themselves the new password length requirements will apply.
- New Users: Required to use the new password length when they create their account.
What's New in Version 1.0.1 See changelog
Released
Fix: the existing users will still be able to keep logging in on your board. They will be required to use new password length when they change their password.
Send a PM if it is broken. There really isn't much here that can go wrong unless IPS completely alters the password system.
