Password complexity requirements

[dethknite 45]

Server:

 

Since one cannot restrict a user from changing their password on MB3 Server... it would be nice if we could require specific characters in the password to ensure it remains secure.

 

ie.  Require at least 8 characters in length, require a special character, require numeric, require combination of upper and lowercase characters or one of each.

 

Perhaps checkboxes to allow multiple criteria selection.

yea, we could do this at some point.

Unfortunately, I am against this.

 

I setup a server to my family and that setup uses a old pc and a tv.

 

They control it through Microsoft Remote Controller.

 

At every restart, shutdown, sleep, they have to logon to MBT,

 

However, it would be impossible to write a lowercase, uppercase ...etc letters ..... basically a complex password, through that remote controller.

 

Sorry.

I'm pretty sure it would be an option in MBS. So you would click on the user and there would be a checkbox (or perhaps it would be server wide) that enables the secure password requirement.

 

Anyone using MBT/MBC, or even many of the apps for things like Roku, would have a hard time with a cryptic password. I don't think Luke would want to annoy a large percentage of the user base and force this on everyone.

 

( so don't worry )

we could require all passwords come from here

Or we could just let you create a "pin". I saw how well that worked last time

What we really need are two different passwords.  One complex one for use by most apps and a simple one for use by only the apps that are operated primarily by a remote-control (MBC/MBT/Roku/XBMC).

 

Support for both strong and weak passwords on a per-clien...

I know this is really old but is there any plans for implementing password complexity requirements?
