      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
