PasswordPolicy
On this page
The rules a password must meet: how short, how long, and whether to check breached lists.
Use it in sign-in settings. It follows NIST's guidance, so there are no rules about capitals or symbols, and passwords don't expire.
Shape
| Field | Type | Required? |
|---|---|---|
min_length |
Int |
Yes |
max_length |
Int |
Yes |
check_breached |
Bool |
Yes |
Its parts keep these rules, and a value that breaks one fails with the rule's name:
min_not_above_max: min_length <= max_length
Example
PasswordPolicy { min_length: 15 max_length: 64 check_breached: true }Good to know
- The fewest is at least 8, and the most is at least 64.
==tells you whether two are the same.<andlist.sort_bydon't take it, so sort by one of its parts instead.
In JSON
An object of its parts, in a request, a response or json.write:
{"min_length":15,"max_length":64,"check_breached":true}{"min_length":8,"max_length":256,"check_breached":false}
Details
Text form, storage, how it is shown, and operations
PasswordPolicy is in the group Security, and has been in Jadpo since 0.1.0.
Text form
It has no single text form, so text.from and text.parse don't take it.
How it is stored
It is stored in 3 columns, each named for the field, _ and its suffix. This is {"min_length":8,"max_length":256,"check_breached":false}:
| Column | Type | Holds |
|---|---|---|
<field>_min_length |
smallint |
8 |
<field>_max_length |
smallint |
256 |
<field>_check_breached |
boolean |
FALSE |
How it is shown to people
text.format(value, locale:) shows it to people in their locale.
With locale: Locale.en_gb:
| Value | Shown |
|---|---|
{"min_length":"15","max_length":"64","check_breached":true} |
15–64 |
{"min_length":"8","max_length":"256","check_breached":false} |
8–256 |
Operations
It also takes text.format, json.read, json.write and ==. How every standard type behaves says how they work.
