Hi everyone. I think it’s long due for password requirements to be more comprehensive. Many websites today require a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters/ uppercase letters.

We have Authenticator and email addresses, but I think the password itself is the most important piece. Simple to guess passwords should not be allowed - it creates too much security risk.

Thank you

Waaaaaaay back in June last year, an account security blog post appeared.

In that blog, we were told that Jagex was working on strengthening passwords and breached password usage warnings, and that email notifications and validations for account behaviour changes as well as authenticator checks on the website were "coming soon".

We were told specifically that systems are being updated to allow more complex passwords, and that there would be user guides that help users create them.

Further, password manager support was mentioned, along with collaboration with a 3rd party to search online for breached password data.

All good stuff...

But that's almost a year ago.

Can we have an update please, and an estimation of when some of these features might appear - if at all?

Cheers.
