Hi, Can I change the complexity for username/password account? Like at least 8 characters, upper case/lower case/digits, etc?


Thanks!

Grant

Hey Grant,
The current minimum password length is 6 without any additional restrictions and cannot be modified.

Thanks Bassam. Another question, when I sign up users with password, can I add one more step of email verification of his new account? And can I add CAPTCHA to the sign up page?

Regards,
Grant

Hey Grant, after a user signs in, you can check if their email is verified, if not, redirect them to a page telling them in order to complete the sign in, they have to verify their email. You can create the email verification link using one of the backend libraries, for example:
Email the link to the user's provided email. When the link is clicked, it will redirect to your widget page for confirmation. Using the backend libraries provided, you can check the gtoken cookie to confirm if the user is verified before you give the user access to your site.

As for CAPTCHA, you cannot force it to appear on demand.

Best regards,
Bassam
