[5.x] Password - Min requirements position

[joomleb]

Hi guys,
PHP 8.1 + Joomla 4.4.1

The Registration page is grabbing the "Minimum Requirements" from
Joomla Users Options > Password Options > Minimum Password Length... etc. and appending them below the password1 label.

Here an image for you: https://photos.app.goo.gl/gmguWctFb2SHxBM97

The frontend Edit Profile page is not grabbing them for the same password1 field.

It should, Do you agree?

Why would it. The only requirement of the password confirmation field is that it is the same.

@brianteeman
Because the 2 password fields are into the Edit Profile in case I want to change my password (they are not there to save the Edit Profile form).

Now, there are two password fields:

• password1 - it always must meet the "Minimum Requirements" from
  Joomla Users Options > Password Options > Minimum Password Length... etc.... Isn't it ?!? - if no, it would be a serious security issue to permit to a registered user to change a password as he wants (let me say 4 characterers instead of min.10 for example).
• password2 - (password confirmation) as you wrote it has to be the same as the password1

So, If I'm the logged user and I want to change my password, I edit my profile and sure is quite I'm registering: I really don't remember the minimum requirements of that site !

For the same reason also the green bar at the bottom would be a must, as in the Registration form. As Frontend user I'm exactly in the same situation...

Am I missing anything?
Do you agree?

sorry I think I misunderstood the question

@brianteeman
(it can happen and it's never a problem, that's why we kindly explain it to each other).

About the issue, Do you agree ?

From what I can tell this has already been fixed in j5. If you could check and confirm

@brianteeman you are right, tested on new J 5.0.1 installation and I can confirm it (sorry)

@brianteeman
Sorry, I'm reopening this to ask:
Cassiopeia is adding the "Min. Req." just below the password1 field label (the old password1 description position).
Would not be better to add it just below the 'green bar check" ? Like:

So the green bar and min. req. will be near...
Practically the "Min. Req." is quite the "green bar check description"...

Description is not a detailed that I could start developing, so converting it to discussion to define it more precise
