Ticket #948 (fixed enhancement)

Require passwords with at least 6 characters

Created: 2014-02-04 19:58:34
Reported by: Studio384
Assigned to: Studio384

Milestone: 1.5.8
Component: security
Priority: normal

Currently, FluxBB requires passwords to have at least 4 characters. That is... not much. We should require more characters, 6 at least. Actualy, I prefer 8, but 6 is a good start. What do you guys think?

Agreed.

What about hashing passwords with PHPass maybe?

Franz 2014-02-08 12:52:38

Hmm, we can't do that in 1.5.x due to backwards compatibility thing. We could update things like that in a 1.6 version.

Well then, let's clear this up: are we going for a 1.5.7 feature release, or a 1.6 release? In the last case, you should rename this milestone.

We'll have to apply the fixes to the 1.5 branch, too. Will sort out the milestones soon.

With signup and request new password, an 8 characters password is generated. Why not do it here too?
