# Custom password length limits
|
|
|
|
If you want to enforce longer user passwords you can create an extra Devise
|
|
initializer with the steps below.
|
|
|
|
If you do not use the `devise_password_length.rb` initializer the password
|
|
length is set to a minimum of 8 characters in `config/initializers/devise.rb`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /home/git/gitlab
|
|
sudo -u git -H cp config/initializers/devise_password_length.rb.example config/initializers/devise_password_length.rb
|
|
sudo -u git -H editor config/initializers/devise_password_length.rb # inspect and edit the new password length limits
|
|
```
|
|

<!-- ## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
|
|
one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
|
|
important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
|
|
This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
|
|
questions that you know someone might ask.
|
|
|
|
Each scenario can be a third-level heading, e.g. `### Getting error message X`.
|
|
If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
|
|
but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->
