Password policy validation message is incorrect

(1) Share

Report

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I have configured my PowerApps Portal password policy in the following way:

Authentication/UserManager/PasswordValidator/RequiredLength : 8

Authentication/UserManager/PasswordValidator/RequireDigit : true

Authentication/UserManager/PasswordValidator/RequireLowercase : true

Authentication/UserManager/PasswordValidator/RequireNonLetterOrDigit : true

Authentication/UserManager/PasswordValidator/RequireUppercase : true

If I attempt to set my password to "a" I get the following error message:

Passwords must be at least 8 characters. Passwords must have at least one digit ('0'-'9'). Passwords must have at least one uppercase ('A'-'Z'). Passwords must contain characters from at least three of the following four classes: uppercase, lowercase, digit, and non-alphanumeric (special).

The error is with the last sentence, it states that only 3 of the 4 classes are required, but in my case all 4 are required. In my opinion the last sentence is unnecessary and could be removed.

It would also be nice if each password condition was within it's own <li>

Thanks

Hi Oliver
I considered using javascript to modify the error message, but I tend to find that there is a flash of the original content before the javascript kicks in to change it. The solution I was hoping for would be to change\remove the problem message before it is shown, but this doesn't seem possible at the moment.
I just tried your javascript solution and it worked brilliantly, I didn't even see a flash of the original message.

The modified javascript&colon;

<script> $(document).ready(function () { var validation = $("#ValidationSummary1"); if(validation){ // get text var validationText = validation.text(); validationText = validationText.replace("Passwords must contain characters from at least three of the following four classes: uppercase, lowercase, digit, and non-alphanumeric (special).", ""); validation.text(validationText); } }); </script>

Solution Accepted!
Thanks for your help.

as suggested by xida-msft, you can add an idea for future improvements in the Portals
Microsoft is looking closely to the ideas forum, so I guess that's your best chance

the list I shared is from the Community Portal source code, it's a version of the Portals that Microsoft published to the public a while ago, but it's very out of date already, most things are still the same though: https://github.com/Adoxio/xRM-Portals-Community-Edition
note that this project is not maintained by Microsoft

if that's critical for you requirement, you can try adding a support ticket with Microsoft, not sure what they would come with though
another thing you can try is adding a JS code into a snippet to replace that text
create (if there isn't already) a content snippet with the name: "Account/Register/PageCopy"
set the type to HTML, and add a JS in the value

<script> $(document).ready(function () { var validation = $("#ValidationSummary1"); if(validation){ // get text var validationText = validation.text(); // check if your validation text contains the string you want to replace validation.text("your new text"); } }); </script>

Hi Oliver
Thanks for your reply.
What is the source of the image you posted? It's clear to see that "Passwords_not_meeting_requirements" is a static string, so it will always be the same regardless of how many conditions I configure. Can that string be set to ""? I was hoping to raise a bug with Microsoft and ended up here, I'm not sure if I should raise this somewhere else?

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

Based on the issue that you mentioned, I think this issue is related to PowerApps Portal Settings. Currently, there is no way to change the prompt message for these Password policy validation in PowerApps Portal.

If you would like this feature to be improved, please consider submit an idea to PowerApps Ideas Forum:

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/idb-p/PowerAppsIdeas

Best regards,

Hi, as far as I am aware we can't change that message

the strings are shown according to the criteria in your site settings
