# PasswordStrength

The minimum strength of password to allow for user accounts when adding a new user or changing an existing password. Set `PasswordStrength` to a required password strength from `1` (weakest) to `10` (strongest). A password strength of `1` or `2` is considered weak, `2` to `5` is acceptable and `6` to `10` is considered strong.

Password strength is automatically determined by a combination of methods. To increase password strength, users must create passwords that contain a mixture of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and punctuation. For example, `susan1` is a weak password, but `Su./san23!` is a strong one.

You can also use a Lua script to manage your password strength requirements. In this case, you must set UserLuaScript, and define a function called `password_complexity_check` in the corresponding Lua script.

NOTE: If you set both UserLuaScript and `PasswordStrength`, IDOL Server runs the Lua script checks first, and then checks against the `PasswordStrength` criteria. If the configured UserLuaScript does not define a function called `password_complexity_check`, IDOL Server uses only `PasswordStrength`.
