PasswordStrengthRules Class Reference

Specify a set of password requirements to check via checkPasswordStrength() More...

Description

In the absence of a custom rule set, password strength checking operates on the basis of a minimum length of 6 characters, containing at least one upper case character and one digit.

A custom rule can be created in two ways:

• directly as a PasswordStrengthRules object, in which case the rule is created with all checks disabled
• via ManageRules.getPasswordStrengthRules(), in which case the rule is created with the current settings, which can then be modified
