# Configurable Password Policy & “Show Password” Option

You can now control how strong customer passwords must be, and optionally allow a “show/hide password” eye icon on the login, registration, reset‑password and change‑password screens.

The password policy can enforce things like minimum length, upper/lower‑case letters, numbers and special characters. The colors for success/error messages are also configurable in the theme editor when the policy is active.

**Benefits for merchants**

* **Improved security** – Enforce stronger passwords to better protect customer accounts.
* **Fewer login frustrations** – The “show password” toggle helps reduce typos and failed logins.
* **Consistent branding and UX** – Control the colors of password‑policy messages so they match your store theme.
* **Clear guidance for users** – On relevant pages, customers see exactly what their password must contain before they submit.
