Changing the "Invalid Password" message in User Manager

Question

We changed the password complexity for users using a

passwordStrengthRegularExpression

property, it works fine but how can we inform the user about the format of password needed. For example if the user need to change his password and he didn't know the regex he can't spend a lot of time without founding the best password format.

By default sitecore display this message

and if we create a new user also the error message didn't give any information's about the needed password format

How can we customize these error messages?

We are using sitecore 8.2 with SXA1.4

Thanks.

Answer 1

This message is a dictionary entry in the core database in Sitecore.

Go to Sitecore Desktop, switch to core database and find the item:

Path: /sitecore/system/Dictionary/F/Failed to set the password Possible reasons are 1 The old password is incorrect 2 The new p_1

ID: {098CF1DA-CF18-412A-9EE9-A82E14BA3731}

Enter any Phrase value you want:

I did test it and it worked:

Be aware that:

• There are 2 items with similar names. Make sure you edit the correct one.
• You should not change the key - only set the Phrase field value.

Hi @Marek thank you it works fine, I don't know why the first time I didn't seen my changes. Just notice that for me it's not the same GUID {5BB66CB4-F2BC-E08E-9563-28194D5C9779}
