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

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):

<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:

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