There's probably a FAQ for this but I can't find it.

If I increase password strength from low to high, will all those users with existing low strength (say 4 characters) be prompted to reset their password to the (8 + upper and lower case mix), or will their passwords stay valid?

Thanks

The passwords will remain valid, until they get changed. When changing them, the new rules will apply.

Wow, That was fast.
Thanks

I think that was a clear cut solution and it seems to have solved your problem, liamtoo. I'll just mark it as solved. Do feel free to reopen this if your problem is still unsolved.
