@stocksforum,

This is not wpForo phrase it's come from Wordpress. I think you should translate the phrase by Loco Translate plugin.

I was able to set a one character password on the password sign up. Definitely needs updating.

Also, how can I edit the text the that has:

Hint: The password should be at least twelve characters long. To make it stronger, use upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols like ! " ? $ % ^ & ).

It's not showing up under 'Phrases' section to edit.

Hi Guys

Although the reset password form suggests you have to have a minimum length, it is not enforced. You can enter any length and it will be reset.

Logout > lost-password form > Click link in email > reset password form

In the function wpforo_do_password_reset() there could be a password check which would prevent this.
