Suggestion: Password policy and group password reset

[ep0ch]

Please can we have a couple of features regarding passwords

1. Specify password policy for new passwods - i.e..minimum number of characters and which characters to use - mixed case, numbers, special chars etc.

2. The ability to force a password reset for a group.

Cheers

As security should be taken very seriously I'm hoping the first of these changes can be included in a future release. Just a regex for password validation would be very useful.

Whilst I'm aware that there are some third-party password solutions, I have to agree that this should be in the software by default; countering average user deficiencies in the area of security-via-password would be great help to all customers.

@Lindy @Charles, there are two suggestions here. Which one were implemented? Or both?

Changed to marketplace. Ok.

Made a plugin:

Thanks Adriano! Great of you to do this. My main concern with this being a plugin rather than built in, is how do we know it will keep working with future IPB updates and therefore not compromise a sites security if it no longer works?
