      Description

      Feature request @ https://requests.blesta.com/topic/admin-ability-to-config-client-password-requirements

      When Plesk provisions accounts, the passwords it generates are not secure enough for Plesk's default password security. The default security of password in Plesk are set as "Strong" with the following definition:

      • At least 8 characters
      • At least one uppercase letter
      • At least one lowercase letter
      • At least one digit
      • At least one special character

      Plesk also has a "Very Strong" password option, that has the following requirements. It may be worth considering generating passwords to meet this standard so that it will be sufficient regardless of the configuration of Plesk:

      • At least 16 characters
      • Include multiple occurrences of uppercase letters
      • Include multiple occurrences of lowercase letters
      • Include multiple occurrences of digits
      • Include multiple occurrences of special characters

        This looks like a good task to employ the JS password generator from CORE-552

        The JS password generator would work for resetting the password as a client or admin, but we would still need to generate the password automatically in PHP to pass to Plesk.

        Maybe a separate task for the JS password generator in the staff/client area for resets?
