so vb does this now? what version?

From what i read in this thread it seems that this mod is better since it includes bad word list.

I looked up the vb update.

Username=Password Disallowed

In this release, users will no longer be allowed to set their username and passwords to the same value. Users who already have a password that is the same as their username will be forced to change their password on their next login. Additionally, a tool has be added to the Admin Control Panel to email affected users with a new password. Please be aware of these potential compatibility changes when upgrading.

I still think that this mod is still better than what vb has done since they only addressed 1/2 the problem and since i haven't upgrade to 3.7.3 yet. I need to renew my vb membership.

I just wish there was a way to mandate a min password length on the forum.

Great mod John thank you for this.

Apologies for reviving such an old thread, but I just discovered this add-on and it works great with my 3.8.4 installation. However I wanted to do at least something to enforce a minimum password length, so I modified the verify_passwords javascript function in the register template (changes are in red):

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

function verify_passwords(password1, password2, minlength)

{

        // do various checks, this will save people noticing mistakes on next page

        if (password1.value == '' || password2.value == '')

        {

                alert('$vbphrase[fill_out_both_password_fields]');

                return false;

        }

        else if (password1.value != password2.value)

        {

                alert('$vbphrase[entered_passwords_do_not_match]');

                return false;

        }

        else if (password1.value.length < minlength)

        {

                alert('Your password is too short. It has to be at least ' + minlength + ' characters');

                return false;

        }



        else

        {

                <if condition="$show['coppa']">

                pass_copy = password1.value;

                passconfirm_copy = password2.value;

                </if>



                var junk_output;



                md5hash(password1, document.forms.register.password_md5, junk_output, $show[nopasswordempty]);

                md5hash(password2, document.forms.register.passwordconfirm_md5, junk_output, $show[nopasswordempty]);



                <if condition="$show['coppa']">

                document.forms.register.password.value = pass_copy;

                document.forms.register.passwordconfirm.value = passconfirm_copy;

                </if>



                return true;

        }

        return false;

}

</script>

and immediately after in the same register template:

Code:

<form action="register.php?do=addmember" name="register" method="post" onsubmit="return verify_passwords(password, passwordconfirm, 8);">

the MOD states: "After confirming your email address is valid, we'll send you your new password." in an email to users, but I don't see anywhere how many characters the new/generated Password is. I assume it's a random mix of letters/numbers, but how l-o-n-g is the password it refers to?

Does anyone have an idea as to what additional CODE one would need to insert into the profile.php file to force users to always update their passwords using at least 8 characters? Or should such revisions be made in the modifypassword template?

Thanks a lot.It worked for me on 3.8.7.
