Hi,
i just logged in from a new PC and managed to not know my password anymore. NP, pasword reset.
What confuses me: I was forced to use 10 characters password. I mean, having upper/lower + numbers is already hard - but standard. mit 8 characters is IMHO simply… extraordinary.
My community user is now better protected than my myopenhab user.
If ever possible I’d request to loosen security there a bit..
Thanks
Michael
10 characters and even longer are better 
Sure sure. You can put 20+ und your phone unlock 
!
Having strongest ever security on a community is still a bit unreasonable for me.
@Kai , are you the one to decide here?
Just create a Github or Google account and log in with it. No password required.
Google provides strong two factor auth.
Sure. Thats a valid workaround.
Or i try to get the actual issue fixed 
No, really. I easily solved this by putting some more numbers behind my usual “pasword for websites i do not really care for security”.
But i wonder why…
It’s the default setting of Discourse, we did not change anything and I don’t see a reason for changing it. If it forced you to use a different password than you use on all other sites on the web, then it already fulfilled its purpose
“It was default” was not exactly the reasoning i expected…
I have to admit, the best solution regarding security in multiple systems is already mentioned by @lopez1de !
Is there any chance to migrate an existing account to google login? I could not obviously find such in the profile?!
yey, there is - if the login mail is a google mail anyways, it seems to just work. At least it did for me
