For example, a password consists of letters, numbers, symbols.

Industry best/recommended practices (such as championed by NIST) no longer recommending requiring “LUDS” (Lower + Upper + Digit + Symbol) or any other character class requirements. They have moved strictly to minimum length restrictions as a best practice. See for example this blog post from NIST fr…

I’m not sure I understand the premise of the question? To strengthen a password you would indeed include a mix of letters in different cases, numbers and symbols. Preferably random, and unique for each site/login. A password manager is a useful tool as well. This is general password advice though,…

Maybe you have misunderstood me. What I mean is that I created a discourse forum. When new users register, I need to restrict their passwords to three types I can only adjust the length of the password from the system Settings

I think I see. You want to enforce users to have passwords that include a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. I’m afraid I don’t know of a way to do that currently.

Well, thank you all the same Is there anyone who can solve this problem？

I think these are the only settings: [image] [image] Imho, this is a reasonable Contribute > Feature request? The downside of making passwords tougher to be acceptable is that you might exasperate users during sign-up and actually stop them completing it? The priority of this will surely vary…

Thanks.But I don’t need two-factor authentication

But maybe your users need, or want? That should be the first priority, not yours need.

Could you not mandate longer passwords and achieve the same thing? [image]

It’s not a problem. Having arbitrary rules about what kinds of characters there are doesn’t help and just annoys users. Passwords are also checked against a known password database (or so I think I remember). It is a good bet that the people who made up the rules about passwords have spent more tim…

And there is another point too that quite often stays under radar — all of this are very anglo-centric things. What do you think… if and when I’m using short and quite easy password in finnish, in swedish, in german or actually using any other language than english, how fast a script/bot can break i…

Le NIST a définitivement une longueur d’avance sur ce point. Le PCI-DSS, par exemple, vient de passer de 8 à 12 caractères, et exige toujours des mots de passe alphanumériques.
