PasswordStrength
The minimum strength of password to allow for user accounts when adding a new user or changing an existing password. Set PasswordStrength
to a required password strength from 1
(weakest) to 10
(strongest). A password strength of 1
or 2
is considered weak, 2
to 5
is acceptable and 6
to 10
is considered strong.
Password strength is automatically determined by a combination of methods. To increase password strength, users must create passwords that contain a mixture of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and punctuation. For example, susan1
is a weak password, but Su./san23!
is a strong one.
You can also use a Lua script to manage your password strength requirements. In this case, you must set UserLuaScript, and define a function called password_complexity_check
in the corresponding Lua script.
NOTE: If you set both UserLuaScript and PasswordStrength
, IDOL Server runs the Lua script checks first, and then checks against the PasswordStrength
criteria. If the configured UserLuaScript does not define a function called password_complexity_check
, IDOL Server uses only PasswordStrength
.
