Password authorization via new user admin panel -No Authorization In Place-

Hi guys hope you’re enjoying the weekend.

I was testing the password authorization as an admin generating a new user account (LeftNav>Adminstration>Users>Add User).
I was able to create a user with a 1 letter password, the authorization process from:
interface/usergroup/checkpwd_validation.js
Is not triggered (?)

Not by default. There is a global setting under security:

Require Strong Passwords

That needs to turned on.

Excellent, thanks Kevin.

These days I think that “require strong passwords” and “require password expiration” should be the default from all new installations.

Before making it default, recommend doing rigorous testing on the feature and ensuring it works for international users.
