Strengthen Password

Post by kdh4318 »

Hello Sir,

Recent password setting trends are subject to rules such as limiting the minimum number of characters,
including capital letters or including special characters.

Could you add these features to SecureVNCPlugin?

Best Regards

Hello,

as there are already more than 65k views on this topic - are there any plans on the roadmap to support more complex passwords?
As the password policies today are asking for complex passwords, this is a mandatory feature.

Complex passwords are supported, the request was to enforce complex passwords.
The password is set by the administrator and it's also the administrator that would enforce or not complex passwords.

This has low priority and don't offer an extra security.

Perhaps i understood wrong the request!

Re: Strengthen Password

Hello

The feature I requested is to enforce complicated passwords. These functions vary from site to site, but of course, they're also applied to the Ultravnc Forum. As you know, VNC Password only supports up to 8 digits in DES, so it's limited to enforce complicated passwords. Therefore, I think it's appropriate if that feature is added to SecureVNCPlugin with additional security settings. Is it possible to add these features?

Looking forward to your reply.
