I need to validate passwords to be at least 7 characters strong and contain at least 2 numbers.

I noticed there are some options on the User Settings screen that seemed useful.
You can use thse to specify the min. amount of characters and the min. amount of non-alphanumeric characters (no luck there). They have to be edited in the web.config however.

There is also an option "Password Regular Expression" in the settings screen, but I don't seem to find a corresponding web.config setting.

So, how can I specify a regular expression to validate the password?

I believe you can set the regular expression in the user settings page and it will function, it just has to validate to a password that also meets the criteria set forth by the web.config restrictions.

The problem is, I can't.

Just like all the other settings, there is no way to edit it on the page.. I think (at least don't see an edit field or whatsoever)
I assumed it also needs to be set in the config file, but I wouldn't know which property to edit, it isn't specified in the example in the web.config.
