Improve password security

	I want to enhance password's strength by forcing the use of upper-, lowercase, digit or maybe some special characters when users set up their passwords. The only way I know to increase safety is to change the minimum password length. I'm using the registration module, but I neither found a file to implement my regexp PHP routine nor a location to display error messages in case of insufficient variation of characters. Do you have an idea or an existing module to realize that? Thank you!

	Good UX would require you to give the user feedback while they are filling in the form before they post. Returning the user to the form after post just frustrates the user. Not saying you should not validate the form post post. But pre post validation is better UX. -s ________________________________ All New jQuery Minislideshow for G2/G3
