When a user is create using the "usercontroller.createuser" method in DNN, is there some kind of automatic validation that happens for the password? When i looked into the DNN code, there was a method called "ValidatePassword". But that is called only when a password is changed (not when the user is created)... But I was wondering if internally DNN calls "ValidatePassword" when a user is created using the createuser method...Is that right? Thanks in advance!!

Thanks for the reply Mike...In that case, what does the ValidatePassword method do? There is a line within that method which computes the password length as "MembershipProviderConfig.MinPasswordLength" and then verifies against the userprovided password...It also does some validation against a regular expression...So is this method called only when a user change their password and not when a user is created?

This was the fix i did...after DNN generated the radom password, I called upon the validate passoword function and passed the temporary password as a parameter... I had a while loop going for this. The code will enter the while loop when the random password does not meet the requirements..and inside the while loop i generate one more random password and check for the condition again. This seems to have solved the issue
