because not all "special characters" are special enough for Notes 8, we found that one out the hard way. $ (for example) is invalid.

Hi,

this borrible dialog is really determined by YOU. If your password rules are easy, you can change this dialog-- yes, the dialog is customizable. You could also delete all the things which are "not applicable". (yeah, then you would have to renumber, but you CARE about your users, right?)

With power and felxibility comes responsibility :)

Hi Mary-Beth,

yes the content of the dialog can be customized, but nevertheless there is so much room for improvement.

Many applications today use a simple graphical way which shows if the password meets the specific criteria. And these graphical indicators change with every new character the users enters. (They turn green from red for example).

And don't even allow the user to hit "OK" if the password does not meet the criteria. A message afterwards is not as nice.

And I have to add that we really need the "Change password" button in the main menu and not buried inside the ID-file dialog.

And it should also be on EVERY dialog which tells you that the password will or has expired.

And ...

Sorry for repeating this again and again. I am sure that you know about it. But I still believe that someday it will come.

Have a nice day :-)

Mary Beth, any pointers on where this is documented? I do kind of agree that some signifiers as to matching the complexity requirements would be nice. You have to remember that we are starting to move a lot of folks FROM Exchange. We need to make this as familiar as possible.

Any response from Mary Beth on the documentation on how to customize the "change password" dialog? I'm willing to do this to remove the rules that are not applicable to our organization but cannot find information anywhere on how to do this.
