* <tvar name=group><code>group1</code></tvar> etc. are [[<tvar name=rights>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:User rights#List of groups</tvar>|user groups]], plus the special group <tvar name="1"><code>default</code></tvar> which is required to be present and applies to everyone.</translate>
<translate>
<!--T:7-->
* <tvar name=check><code>check1</code></tvar> etc. are arbitrary check names, defined in the <tvar name=checks><code>checks</code></tvar> subarray.</translate>
<translate>
<!--T:32-->
* <tvar name=1><code>value1</code></tvar> etc. are policy values, passed to the appropriate callback defined in the <tvar name=2><code>checks</code></tvar> subarray.</translate> <translate><!--T:8--> If the same check applies to a user via multiple groups, it will be applied with the <tvar name=max><code>max()</code></tvar> of the values.</translate>
** <translate><!--T:33--> Alternatively, <tvar name=1><code>value1</code></tvar> could be an array with the fields <tvar name=2><code>value</code></tvar> (same as above), <tvar name=3><code>suggestChangeOnLogin</code></tvar> (when set to true, users will be shown a password change form during login if the check fails) and <tvar name=4><code>forceChange</code></tvar> (like <tvar name=5><code>suggestChangeOnLogin</code></tvar> but the form cannot be skipped).</translate>
<translate>
<!--T:9-->
* <tvar name=callable><code>callable1</code></tvar> etc. are [<tvar name=url>https://php.net/language.types.callable</tvar> PHP callables], which receive three arguments: the defined value, the <tvar name=User>{{ll|Manual:User.php|User}}</tvar> object and the password, and return a StatusValue.</translate> <translate><!--T:25--> A fatal status means the password can't be used, even for login; a non-fatal error means the value is not accepted as a new password (on account creation or password change), but can be used for login; the user will be shown a (skippable) password change form.</translate>
*<translate><!--T:10--> Default checks (found in <tvar name=file><code>includes/password/PasswordPolicyChecks.php</code></tvar>):</translate>
** <code>MinimalPasswordLength</code> &mdash; <translate><!--T:11--> Minimum length a user can set</translate>
** <code>MinimumPasswordLengthToLogin</code> &mdash; <translate><!--T:12--> Passwords shorter than this will not be allowed to login, regardless if it is correct.</translate>
** <code>MaximalPasswordLength</code> &mdash; <translate><!--T:13--> Maximum length password a user is allowed to attempt.</translate> <translate><!--T:14--> Prevents DoS attacks with pbkdf2.</translate>
** <code>PasswordCannotMatchUsername</code> &mdash; <translate><!--T:15--> Password cannot match username</translate>
** <code>PasswordCannotBeSubstringInUsername</code> &mdash; <translate><!--T:28--> Your password must not appear within your username.</translate>
** <code>PasswordCannotMatchBlacklist</code> &mdash; <translate><!--T:16--> Blacklists some passwords which have been used by MediaWiki unit tests in the past.</translate>
** <code>PasswordCannotBePopular</code> &mdash; <translate><!--T:19--> Blacklist passwords which are known to be commonly chosen.</translate> <translate><!--T:20--> Set to integer n to ban the top n passwords.</translate> <translate><!--T:21--> If you want to ban all common passwords on file, use the <tvar name=max><code>PHP_INT_MAX</code></tvar> constant.</translate> <translate><!--T:26--> See also <tvar name=1>{{ll|Manual:$wgPopularPasswordFile|$wgPopularPasswordFile}}</tvar> (the default file comes with MediaWiki and has 10K passwords).</translate><br />{{Note}} {{removed-inline|1.35}} <translate><!--T:38--> Use <tvar name=1><code>PasswordNotInCommonList</code></tvar> instead.</translate>
** <code>PasswordNotInLargeBlacklist</code> &mdash; <translate><!--T:27--> Same as the previous one, except uses the larger blacklist that comes with the <tvar name=library>[https://packagist.org/packages/wikimedia/password-blacklist wikimedia/password-blacklist]</tvar> library.</translate><br />{{Note}} {{deprecated-inline|1.35}} <translate><!--T:39--> Use <tvar name=1><code>PasswordNotInCommonList</code></tvar> instead.</translate>

== Examples == <!--T:22-->

<!--T:23-->
This example shows how to change selected policies for all users:
</translate>

<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
$wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['default']['MinimalPasswordLength'] = 10;
$wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['default']['MaximalPasswordLength'] = 128;
$wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['default']['PasswordCannotMatchUsername']['value'] = false;
</syntaxhighlight>

<translate>
<!--T:24-->
This example shows how to change selected policies for users of the "sysop" group:
</translate>

<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
$wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['sysop']['MinimumPasswordLengthToLogin'] = 10;
$wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['sysop']['MinimalPasswordLength'] = 20;
</syntaxhighlight>

<translate>
=== Disabling all password policies === <!--T:34-->
</translate>

<translate><!--T:35--> For development machines, it might be helpful to disable all password policies, which can be done with the following line:</translate>

{{Warning|1=<translate><!--T:36--> You should never use this on production sites as it reduces the security of your wiki.</translate> <translate><!--T:37--> It should only be used for test/development sites which do not hold any sensitive data.</translate>}}
