-- HikaShop version -- : 4.6.1

Hi Guys,

I have a site with the user password requirements of min 8 characters, min numbers 0, min symbols 1, min upper case 1 and min lower case 1.

I tried to create a test user with a password of "all lower case" and received an error saying "COM_USERS_MSG_NOT_ENOUGH_UPPERCASE_LETTERS_N". I then changed the password to "ALL UPPER CASE" and resubmitted the form. This time it accepted the password without a lower case character.

So it seems the registration form is ignoring the lower case character requirement.

Also, is it possible for the registration form to have a label or tool tip saying what the password complexity is?

Thank you

Dave

Hi,

The issue was actually reported in another thread 2 days ago:
www.hikashop.com/forum/content-creation/...-short-n.html#345012
As you can read there, the issue is linked to changed made by Joomla 4 in how they handle the password rules compared to before.

We've made a patch for this so that it works properly on Joomla 4.
So update to HikaShop 4.6.2 and you won't have the problem.

Hi Nicolas,

Thank you for your reply. Sorry I thought the related topic was just about the language file covering the password error message. However, I have installed the latest version and both the error message and the password rules issue have been fixed, so thank you for that.

Best wishes

Dave
