webref.eu Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Hi All Has anyone got any recommendations as to what should be the minimum allowed password length for my login script? At the moment I'm going for 6 characters. I'd just like to follow best practice.

The Little Guy Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 to have a good password, you can make some requirements, such as: - Numbers AND Letters - 6 - ? characters long - At least one Capital letter - No repeated numbers/letters 3+ times (ex: 111111) - No numerical numbers (ex: 456789) You may also want to create a list of poor choice passwords, and save them in a file, then check to see if the password the user entered is in the file, and if it is don't let them use that password.
