I had trouble with user logins and I believe it may be related to passwords
upper case
Entering this as a password results in NO ACTION.

Am I missing something with that password? Doesn’t it fit the requirements?
However, THIS will work:
Example 2: 4R7cfDRE#&16X4sM

Are you trying this for the admin account for first time to login?
Then you need to use when simple password for first time login with admin account, afterword you could update your password to stronger one from the profile settings.
No,. logged into admin adding a user
Try adding a test user with this password
Gdrssaqln2Um!
Click save, see what you get.
There is no screen refresh on my side.
If I try to log in with that info it is denied
Hello Vincent,
that’s because the ! isn’t considered a special character:
}
if ($onelower && strtoupper($newPassword) === $newPassword) {
$messages[] = $mod_strings['ERR_PASSWORD_ONELOWER'];
}
if ($onenumber && !preg_match('/[0-9]/', (string) $newPassword)) {
$messages[] = $mod_strings['ERR_PASSWORD_ONENUMBER'];
}
if ($onespecial && false === strpbrk($newPassword, "#$%^&*()+=-[]';,./{}|:<>?~")) {
$messages[] = $mod_strings['ERR_PASSWORD_SPECCHARS'];
}
$message = implode('<br>', $messages);
return $message;
}
public function is_authenticated()
{
But overall a good find - I’ve noticed an adjacent error and filed a ticket:

### Issue
After setting up a password policy and creating a new user and a save… / more complex password, the error messages show up on the next click / different page.
Directly after clicking on save, I get a 301:
<img width="3830" height="2220" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/432fb93c-1b04-42d6-817a-0b526e02c506" />
Then I click on any other page and will finally see the errors:
