It is not possible to do that with this mod... at least, not yet. I will see what I can do. :)

Thank you :)
A good, secure, password is typically 12-16 (roughly) characters. But, I can understand some users having difficulty with that. I would say a good compromise would be 8 characters.

As for 4.1.3, that is what I was thinking - that maybe another mod was conflicting with it. Hopefully it is not an error with this mod itself. :)

I compromised and set it at 10.

I didn't see anything in the code that would cause an error on import. I wouldn't worry about it unless you get anyone else having the same issues.

I would suggest maybe adding a setting for certain userids that could bypass the length check.

That is a good idea Boofo, will implement it in the next release.

I suggest if possible add a feature to this mod to enforce minimum lengths on mod and admin accounts only.

Honestly it is extremely unlikely I wold join a forum requiring me to have a password over 6 to 8 characters.

Because... unless I'm a mod or admin, it's JUST a forum. NO ONE cares about my account and I care even less. So what someone cracks my password? Very unlikely on vBulletin where you can't brute-force your way in because it will lock you out after a few bad tries... I'm not going to jump through hoops to join a forum unless they are the only forum in their niche- and I know most admins can't claim that.

Just my opinion.

I totally disagree.

I would disagree, actually. I think every member should have as secure a password as possible. These days when you have things like KeePass, etc - and browsers that will save the password... what is an extra 2-3 characters? Besides, the limit in this mod is configurable.

I may add a usergroup option though, we'll see. :)

I think a userid option would be better. ;)

Well obviously it's your mod... I'm just saying I think putting a 10 or 14 character minimum on regular user account on most forums is like putting a bank vault door on an empty shed in a rural area... Yeah it's more protection, but for what?

You have to balance security vs. the user experience and most forums don't need this type of security on their standard accounts. Admins need to realize IMO most of their sites aren't all that important in the scheme of things. If it was a bank account or medical history then yeah, by all means, enforce strong passwords... but a forum to talk about cars or art or video games? I'd be more concerned about frustrating new and existing members with password requirements far surpassing any bank account I've ever used and having them stop coming.

I use KeePass myself but I'm not going to go through the effort of making a new entry for every single forum I'm a member of. LOL.

Anyway, my suggestion is an option to enforce for mods and admins only... all other opinions aside.

This would be great if you could enforce this on a usergroup basis and not the regular members

That makes absolutely no sense. Why even use it then?
