Miscellaneous Hacks - Minimum Password Length

What is this?
This mod will allow you to force user passwords to be at least a certain length.


Features

• Force minimum length on:
  • Registration
  • Edit Password
  • Reset Password

I've only tested this mod on vB 4.1.4/4.1.5 (alpha). It should work with previous versions, however I am not sure. If it works for you on an older version, let me know.


Installation
1. Download the `product-password_minlength.xml` file. (* may differ in name based on version)
2. Enter your AdminCP and go to Plugins & Products > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
3. Import the product using the `product-password_minlength.xml` file. (* may differ in name based on version)
4. Configure the mod in AdminCP -> Settings -> Options -> User Registration Options


Upgrading
In many cases, all you'll need to do to upgrade is follow the installation instructions above, but set "Allow Overwrite" to "Yes".

Any plans to port this to vb 5.1.6 ?

Just upgraded to 4.2.2 PL 4 and this plugin caused a blank register.php page. Disabled and the blank page disappeared.

Apologies for waking this thread up after a number of years. But does anyone know (or can confirm) if this modification works with vB 4.2.5?

Thanks
