Why I cant reduce min password length to less than 8? :thinking:

Because doing so creates more insecure passwords. Short passwords are easier to crack.

Why do you want to have passwords of less than 8 characters? I’m wondering if this is a problem for you because you’re trying to do something else which requires it.

So isn’t there a solution to make min password length even less from shell? :thinking:

그렇게 하면 더 보안이 취약한 비밀번호가 만들어지기 때문입니다. 짧은 비밀번호는 더 쉽게 해독될 수 있습니다.
