UI Validation for password

To ensure that users create a password with at least 8 characters, one uppercase letter, and one symbol, can we implement a UI validation that guides them while they type.

The 1990s called and they want their pi password requirements neck. 8 characters is not enough; of the database is stolen, it can be cracked in seconds. Requiring upper case and whatnot is mostly just annoying. If you want stronger passwords, just increase the minimum password length site setting.

I think the current default is 12. If you care about security setting it to 20 is probably a better idea and will be many times more secure than what you suggest. If you really care about security you can require 2 factor of all users.

But yes, a theme component can do that.
