PASSWORD_POLICY

Note: When password policies are enabled, ‘rule hint’ labels are displayed to users when resetting or establishing initial passwords. The rule hint labels by default correspond to the default password policy setting, therefore the corresponding rule hint label must be modified if the password policy deviates from the default. E.g., if Password Length Rule is enabled and min/max is set to 6/30, the corresponding rule hint label (instruction.passwordvalidation.PasswordLengthRuleHint) value should be modified to read appropriately. Each active locale ID (Language Packs – if applicable) should be modified to display properly to users:
