MySQL Password Complexity

This is a patch to MySQL that will include two new configuration options: pass-min-length and pass-complexity. When setting a password they will be used to determin if the password complies with the specified password policy.

  • pass-min-length — Password must be at least this long. Default 8.
  • pass-complexity — Password must include characters upto 4 character sets (lower-case, upper-case, numeric, other). Default 3.
