hi steven,
thanks for this proposal. what i trap into consistently since years is not
beeing logged in, when i want to. i'd really appreaciate if this is shown
clearly, on all wiki's. i never can remember which ones indicate it and
which ones not.
mediawiki.org indicates it, btw ... and i was trying to
comment there not logged in :)
for the password policy: display a strength indicator is great. anything
more? i would say just leave it to the user.
rupert.

Hi everyone,
For some time now we've had two Requests for Comment floating around
related to passwords, neither of them making much progress.
One is the older "password strength" RFC which proposed creating a module
to tell users about the strength of their passwords. The second, "Password
requirements", had some discussion but wasn't reaching consensus and
implementation.
After proposing it about a month ago, I've merged these two RFCs and
refactored them in to
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Passwords, partially
based on feedback from Chris Steipp.
Please comment. I've tried to sharpen the proposals down in to one thing we
can do _right now_ which will do the most good for the most users. However,
there are several other viable ideas which merit discussion and example
implementations.
Thanks!
Steven
