The password does not meet the password policy requirements.

[gabrielsoltz]

Hi, thanks for the work.

When i tryed to change a password, I always get the same error:

There was an error changing your password

Error Information: The password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800708C5)

But the password policy requirements is meeted. I double checked it manually.

Any idea ?

I am having the same problem

I'll check it out. There are several ways of changing passwords. In the next version I'll add a configuration option that allows the user to pick which password change strategy is used.

Is there a way that we can manually change this while you make an option available?

[gabrielsoltz]

I did a deep search, and finnally i found the problem was the minimum age password.
So i solved it editing the GPO.
Thanks.

We still can't change our password successfully and I have played with the GPO settings

@gabrielsoltz Looks like you are correct. I am having trouble getting my custom group policy to apply to my domain. Can you send over a link or share some details on how to get this to override the default value of 1 day minimum?

[gabrielsoltz]

GPUpdate.exe /force

[crathermel]

@gabrielsoltz yeah I ran that and it didn't work. Maybe I am setting up the group policy incorrect. The policy shows as minmum password age as 0 .. I run GPUpdate.exe /force and it still shows as 1 .. grrrr

This may be fixed with #8
I will make some time to work on this tomorrow so you guys can give it a try. There will be a new setting in the configuration file to pick a password change strategy.

I have made a pre-release version available under the Releases tab. Please test it out and let me know if it works.
The section you want to play around with is PasswordChangeOptions - See the troubleshooting section in the README.md file
All feedback is greatly appreciated :)

So I upgraded to the pre-release version because I was also getting the error in this thread and I made the recommended changes in the appsettings.json file and now I'm getting the endless loading issue that others had and I also had originally with version 2.0.0. I went through the steps again listed under troubleshooting to no avail. Any more ideas? I even updated dnvm to the unstable version as per your suggestion.

Ok, I messed up, I did not publish the file correctly. It should work now. Try the new release please.
Also please note you will most likely need to unblock the zip file if you download the file with IE. I have updated step 2 of the setup instructions to reflect this.

Looks that from issue #8 this one has been fixed with the latest release. Closing Issue.
