Relaxed minimum password requirements - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

i using joomla 3.x basic protostar template low security internal website.

the website hosts internal telephone extensions , general announcements regarding non-profit organization. nothing more

i relax minimum password requirements, , have adjusted of requirements however, still locked in @ 4 characters minimum. standard in small non-profit organization 3 character password.

i have searched mysql tables, grep'd keywords source code , made adjustments in several locations administrator's "add new user" form still requires minimum of 4 characters.

i can handle php , mysql , javascript. not joomla developer stretch.

can suggest quick , easy way either:

1) relax password requirement 3 chars.
2) generate own encrypted password can manually substitute mysql table (least attractive option)
or
3) remove password validation requirement entirely (i don't care if users want 1 or none character password)

thanks!

i don't know if going work try anyway.

open file called: validate.js , this:

code: select all

input.type!=="text"}();sethandler("username",function(value){regex=new regexp("[<|>|\"|'|%|;|(|)|&]","i");return!regex.test(value)});sethandler("password",function(value){regex=/^\s[\s ]{2,98}\s$/;return regex.test

change {2,98} {1,98} save file , test it.

apparently, 2,98 = 4, 3,98 = 5 4,98 = 6 etc etc.

the file in: {..\media\system\js }

when make changes, make backup first in case doesn't work. test it, may need create new account 3 characters.

just interest sake, if security not important, why not create 1 account same 4 char password , publicise in organization knows it. insert 4 chars not big problem, it?
