Password complexity requirements

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.

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 :) )
