Does softr have minimum password requirements & password re-use checks?

I can’t see any info about this on the User Authentication documentation, but does softr’s authentication provide

  • password complexity requirements?
  • password re-use checks?
  • timeouts on multiple failed login attempts?

Admittedly, Softr doesn’t say anywhere that they provide the above, but I would have thought these were common-sense, basic requirements of a secure authentication system?

Pls check here Users → Authentication → Email → Password settings

It’s a shame to see that it’s only client-side verification (I was able bypass it trivially via postman), but at least it’s something.

I guess it’s a no for password reuse check and timeouts on multiple failed login attempts?

@joshuabo just matter of time until we also enforce in BE…

The other features like reuse check and timeouts we will add into our feature requests list

That’s a fair concern. At the moment, Softr doesn’t clearly document password complexity rules, password reuse checks, or lockouts after multiple failed login attempts. Those settings aren’t exposed or configurable from the user side.

Softr’s auth is designed to be simple and managed for you, which works for many apps, but it does mean less visibility and control over specific security policies. If your app needs stricter or clearly defined requirements, you’d likely need to add an external authentication layer.

It would definitely help if Softr documented this more explicitly.
