Where does one change the password requitements?

I would like to eliminate the non alpha numeric requirement and shorten the character length.

Thank you.

You need to add a section to your web.config that overrides the machine.config settings for membership.  It should look something like this:

<membership defaultProvider=”SqlMembershipProvider” userIsOnlineTimeWindow=”15″>
<providers>
    <clear/>
    <add name=”SqlMembershipProviderOther” type=”SqlProviderOneShot.SqlMembershipProvider”
    requiresQuestionAndAnswer=”false”
     connectionStringName=”EmailEmailConnectionString” applicationName=”EmailEmail”
    enablePasswordRetrieval=”false” enablePasswordReset=”true” 
    requiresUniqueEmail=”true” passwordFormat=”Hashed”
    minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters=”0″ writeExceptionsToEventLog=”false”
    minRequiredPasswordLength=”1″ passwordStrengthRegularExpression=”"
    passwordAttemptWindow=”10″ maxInvalidPasswordAttempts=”8″/>
</providers>
</membership>
