    Description

      problem

      Currently the only password rule is to have 8 characters.

      solution

      Should be at least 12 characters. Additional complexity with upper/lowecase letters, special chars may reduce security since users then tend to note the password down.

      A string check should prevent for using "translate5" "password" "username" etc as simple password then too.

      Check for libraries.
