They might receive a message asking them to change their password soon.

As soon as they log in they would be forced to change their password.

Full support. Most websites require an 8-digit password anyway. But I make it longer just to be on the safe side.

Passwords in scratch. Yes, they do need to be 6 letters or longer, and it can't just be “password” but I don't think it is enough. On this website, any password only 6 letters are too short. In google searches, most websites recommend at least 12 characters in passwords with some suggesting 16!

I do think at least 12 characters would be too big of a restriction and will just be annoying. But 6 is far too low, so I am going to suggest to up it to 8 characters at least with 1 digit. However, if a password is at least 10 characters long, the digit restriction don’t apply.


Why do this? Well, hacking isn’t to much of an issue in scratch - this is actually more for so younger users can understand that passwords need to be strong. It’s good set up for later life - scratch teaching young kids that “123456” is a fine password isn’t good.

Support, there will be less pass-guessing issues.

And what would happen if they wouldn't?

Sorry, don't agree. I have a short password that is easy for me to remember. I don't think people should be forced to have 8 character long password unless they want to.

I guess they can't scratch?

Shall I just make the minimum 10 with no digits or special characters to make it easier?

Ten's also an alright amount, if not better.

No, we cannot force a password change upon people. Other sites may be more valuable once hacked and so need this. There is nothing to gain in the long term from hacking a scratch account.
People will never learn if you don't give them the opitunity to fail.

Then, cars shouldn't come with a fender. People will never learn that a fender is importand if they aren't given the chance to crash their car in the front, perhaps with fatal results on their body.

This easy to remember password is easilly hacked by a program that tests various passwords with your username.

That example is unreleated, learning about internet security has not healtj and saftey issues although I would support if the minimum length was eight with NO other requirements.

They wouldn’t be allowed to use the site.

Good passwords need to be enforced

People can still learn from something if it doesn’t happen to them. You just need examples and information.

Yes, the only requirement will be a password≥10 digits.

Support, I've made some dumb passwords and I'm sure everyone can relate, this will be a good learning oppurtunity!

My password is must chickenugget*

You're going to be forced to have 16 character passwords soon.

Oof. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry.

does this mean thousands of users will have to change their 6 digit password? This will probably cause some issues
