Site Password check

[The Traveler]

This platform now contains several pasword checks:

• Minimum length: 16
• Minimum strength: strong
• On login, your account is checked verses 'have I been owned' databases. If you are compromised, your account will be placed into the 'Compromised password' group which will severely limit your interaction abilities on the forum.
• Resetting your compromised password to a solid new one will remove you from that group and return your previous permissions.

This is all done to make sure people are forced to use a good password policy, it's really important people!

If you have any issue with a compromised password, and you can't figure it out, then you can still start a conversation with me or one of the mods to help you out.


Kind regards,

The Traveler

This functionality has been improved:

• On login; alert the user if they have a known compromised password
  This option causes pwned password integration to test if the password is known to be compromised.
  
  
• On login; consider known-bad passwords as compromised
  Catches passwords which contain user's name or email, or the site's name or url.

Kind regards,
