The minimum password length was introduced in version 7.0.1

This is what is stated - A minimum of 6 characters has been enforced when creating an account password, and any character is now allowed meaning your customer can use special characters and punctuation. If you do not want to enforce a 6 character limit you can add the following parameter to your vsadmin/includes.php file...

Is there any way that the current minimum 6 characters for clients creating an account, or a fully sitewide rule for all passwords, can be upped to 10, or a choice upwards of the default 6? An includes entry to facilitate this would be a nice addition, if that's possible.

I originally posted this in the PHP section in mid Sept, but gained zero response

Hi Steve
That length is a bit hard-coded I'm afraid with this line in the ectcart.js file...

if(!nocustomerloginpwlimit&&tobj.value.length<6){

Could you maybe change that manually for now?

Hi Vince

Yes I shall give that a whirl.

UPDATE @ 22:10 UK time

That has worked & is forcing a 10 character minimum limit. Now all I need to know is where is the following message re the minimum 6 character limit generated from so that I can change that to reflect the min limit?

Hi Steve
If you check in incfunctions.php for...

<?php print jscheck(strreplace('%s',6,$GLOBALS['xxMinLen']))?>

...and change the "6" there that should do it.
