What are the criteria for Caspio Password strengths?

[BeffreyJezos]

Hi  everyone,

I am looking for this everywhere and I can't seem to find an article about this. Does anyone know what criteria (like uppercase, lowercase...) are used for the several password strengths that Caspio has by default as shown below?


I just wanted to know if there are available resources about this so I can document it or make my users aware of the requirements.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks ~

Hi again Hexy!

These are the criteria for the different Password Strength:

Fair: Password must be at least 6 characters, including at least 1 number.

Good: Password must be at least 8 characters, including at least 1 number and both lower and upper case letters.

Strong: Password must be at least 12 characters, including at least 1 number, both lower and upper case letters, and at least 1 special character (e.g. _, #, ?, !)

You can actually see this criteria if you test the options out and just put 1-2 letters so an error message will display like shown here:


I hope this helps!

Hi,

Just to add, Caspio does not have a documentation regarding password strengths, but you can check this article for reference: https://its.lafayette.edu/policies/strongpasswords/, and I think all of the software/applications use this criteria for setting passwords.

I forgot to thank @Tubby for the answer. Thank you for the list of criteria.  That really helped!

Thank you to @PotatoMato as well. That is a very helpful article. Do you happen to know if I can set my own password criteria in Caspio?

Thanks ~

Hi @HexGone, I am not quite sure if you can set your own password criteria since it is already implemented on Caspio's system, but you may try to use JavaScript to check the field if the user enters a password that contains a character depending on the set criteria on the Javascript.
