Password Strength Is Not Enforcing Password Strength On The Server

work77 - October 1, 2009 - 20:49

As admin, I check marked "Verify password strength on server" as well as "Test password not same as username". Clicked Save. Then when I tested found the Javascript does everything correctly but neither of the above is checked on the server, and the bad passwords are allowed. Any suggestions.

Thanks.

These are just suggestions

These are just suggestions for the user. I would assume there is a module that would help, but I do not personally know about one.

Hi. Thanks for responding. It seems a little misleading then that it reads, "Verify password strength on server...
Drupal should verify and enforce password strength on the server (i.e. not only in JavaScript)."

I could see where "verify" could mean a suggestion, as you stated. But I figured "enforce" would mean enforce. Seems silly that the admin can't actually REQUIRE that.

I guess I'll be checking out other modules.

thanks again.

For anyone interested, the Password Policy module does it all! Thanks to whoever wrote it!
