PasswordStrength

This plugin works with Plone to allow an administrator to create a password policy for their site. Once installed it provides a Pluggable Authentication Service (PAS) plugin where you can create as many regular expressions rules which will each be applied against passwords during user registration. For example these rules can ensure a passwords strength such as minimum length and required letters or special characters.

Tests

This package is tested using Travis CI on Plone 5.2 and 6.0. For older

Requires

• PlonePAS and its dependencies

• Plone 5.2 or 6.0

• For Plone 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 , 5.0 and 5.1 use Versions <> 0.5 or source-checkouts.

Installation

3. You can configure the plugin in teh ZMI in /acl_users/password_strength_plugin/manage_propertiesForm
