Minimum Password Length

About This File

This plugin will change the behaviour of all PASSWORD fields on IPS4, by allowing the administrator to set the minimum length for the passwords. IPS4 default is 3 characters.

IMPORTANT: BE ADVISED THAT EXISTING USERS WITH PASSWORD LENGTH LESS THAN THE SETTING VALUE WON'T BE ABLE TO LOGIN. THEY WILL HAVE TO USE THE RESET PASSWORD FEATURE ON LOGIN SCREEN, BY CLICKING IN THE LINK "FORGOT YOUR PASSWORD?".

If a users current password is less than the newly defined minimum, they can't login. Tested by setting a new accounts password to 4 characters, enabled the plugin with a minimum 8 characters, this new account then fails to login with the error message stating the minimum password length is 8 characters.

Wouldn't it be helpful if it was to allow user to login but then ask them to update their password.

I'm not going to install if there are problems

There is no problem with the file. It's kinda logical: if a user uses a password with 4 chars and you change to 10, he won't login. He needs to create another password.

And FWIW: that's exacly why IPS doesn't change it after all those years.
