Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa/issues/1985

Currently passwords must be at least 8 characters, with one uppercase and one number. This is not very flexible.

Please provide a simple UI control to set minimum length and choose required character classes (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, special characters).

Ideally this can be set globally and overridden per domain.

@neonknight You can already customize this in the settings.py file. (this feature is provided by Django natively)
Do we really need a per domain level?

Changing settings.py for sure works for me, thanks for the pointer. Will the file be overwritten by modoboa updates?

That would just be the cherry on top of the cake :-) I think a GUI based configuration is necessary, but per domain settings is quite a bonus.

If you use the installer, then yes.

This feature is provided by Django and depends on the settings.py. I think a GUI for that would be possible but the per-domain level would required a custom password validation system. I don't think it's a priority.
