A little while ago, my client updated their password rules to be a little
stricter. For example, one of the changes was the min length was changed
from 8 to 14. I have now been asked if I can provide a list of users that
have a password that does not meet the new requirements. I don't want/need
to know the password. I'm just looking for a yes or no flag to tell me if
it meets the requirements. Is there anything that would give me that info?
I think their eventual plan is to set passwords to expired if they don't
meet the rules and make them change them so they do meet them.
