      First of all, you need to install Developer app. Then enter there, go to Forms->System->Accounts->Create account and edit the password field. Change there the value of "Expression" field from this one:

      ~^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d).{8,}~

      to the line with another digit instead of 8 like 16:

      ~^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d).{16,}~

      • Hello,

        Is it possible to allow special char set for example ! @ %^&*?

        Best Wishes

        • Hello,

          Also after changing the expression to the above to represent 16 char it still give a throw back error of The Password must at least 8 charcaters long and contain at least 1 uppercase letter, 1lowercaseletter and 1 digit. However my password contains this when setting at leas 8 char but is more than 8 char and may contain symbols such as ? @ ! $ and so on in a the password and it will throw that error back.

          • Show us your final expression. BTW, you may check your variants here toohttps://www.phpliveregex.com/ (just don't paste the ~ signs from the beginning and the end). So my trick ^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d).{16,}  works fine there too. The point with ! @ %^&*  may look like:

            ^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d)(?=.*[@#%&]).{8,}

            This variant will require a one ncessary special symbol.

            • Hello,

              I've tried the second expression and 1st to no success while trying to update a password containg such !z#@Wn3?2 for examples it throws error, password must at least 8 char long and contain at least 1 uppercase letter which is so along with digits and says incorrect info please check your inputs and try to submit again. I've also purgedthe cached.
