Description

Desired behavior

It would be helpful for users to know what the password requirements are prior to inputting a password.

Current behavior

We recently implemented a basic length requirement for passwords that only shows the validation error after the user has entered text and moved on to the password validation.

Value add

Makes password requirements clear to users at the start of the process and reduces headaches and confusion

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue 4142 and the account-creation page to understand the existing basic length requirement and when its validation appears. Done means users can see the password requirements before entering a password, with the account-creation flow still validating the password correctly.
