When you invite someone to use Craft as a user the can fill in a very simple password upon registration. "123456" is accepted as a good password...It would be nice to have some validation rules upon input.

Because of this i like to make up a (better, stronger)password for my clients and that results in a very bad workflow, i have to copy the registration link open up a new session and fill in a password that i have to remember and email them.

Maby its a good idea when as a admin you can give them a password when making a new user or something like that.

Anyway i ll hope to see this functionality implemented.

Thanks!

It's debatable whether strict password requirement rules actually work - it really depends on your site’s audience. Make them too complicated and people end up writing their password down on a sticky note and leaving it on their desk.

For now what we recommend is that you create a plugin that enforces whatever password logic you'd like. Here's how you'd do that: http://craftcms.stackexchange.com/a/12166/9
