Enforce Strong Passwords

Hello all, I have a requirement to enforce strong passwords from a customer,
and I can only assume they won't be the last to ask for it.

Does anyone have any pointers for handling complex passwords? In this
particular case I need to enforce

between 6 and 16 Case Sensitive AlphaNumerics with at least one
non-AlphaNumeric character.

min and max I've got, but I'm not sure where to go with the rest.

Thanks!

Hi, My application uses passwords to limit access to certain parts of the app. I was considering storing these in my database but have heard that there can be problems with this. I have heard using the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) would be a good place. Does anyone have any opinions on this and how would I implement the GAC scenario?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
