Minimum password length 6 supported? (work, but gives error msg in admincp)

[fpostma]

I understand, but we get our username/password combinations from a front-end website and feed them to VB via api. That works perfectly, if passwords are long enough It looked to be easier to just lower...

Thanks for the reply. Will notify customer that they will have to enforce longer passwords somehow.

For reason beyond my control we need to lower the minimum password length from 8 to 6 (yech). That can be done in AdminCP->User Reg options and works fine.

Quick question: is it possible/useful to create support tickets with question on to how this *should* work?

Thanks for that explanation of intended use for find.

It's to bad api calls return just arrays instead of classes/typed records, it's hard to be sure the output of one call can be used as...
