Change min password length

[blaz_p]

I am making users programatically (weird system that a company wants, where users send their details to companies email, they then create user in their crm, and upload users data to server, where I pick it up and create user from it), and the problem is, that password shorter than 6 characters is not allowed. I've updated this in administration, and that seems to only work when users register in frontend.

How can I set minimum password length for users I am making in the backend?

Example of code that creates user:

    $CustomerModel = $objectManager->create('Magento\Customer\Model\Customer');

    $CustomerModel->setWebsiteId(1); 
    $CustomerModel->loadByEmail($email);

    if (!$CustomerModel->getId()) {
        $customer = $customerFactory->create();
        $customer->setWebsiteId($websiteId);

        $customer->setEmail($email);
        $customer->setFirstname($name);
        $customer->setPassword($password);
        $customer->save();
    }

Sadly it does not work.. Already tried that. It only seems to work for users registering in frontend, but not on ones I make in backend via the code I provided above.

File path:

/vendor/magento/module-customer/Model/Customer/Attribute/Backend/Password.php

const MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH = 6;

You can set your min password length value here.

For create your own custom file :

/app/code/VendorName/ModuleName/Model/Customer/Attribute/Backend/Password.php

Add this below code in file : 

<?php

namespace VendorName\ModuleName\Model\Customer\Attribute\Backend;

use Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException;

class Password extends \Magento\Customer\Model\Customer\Attribute\Backend\Password
{
/**
* Min password length
*/
const MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH = 5; // set your custom length of min password

/**
* Magento string lib
*
* @var \Magento\Framework\Stdlib\StringUtils
*/
protected $string;

/**
* @param \Magento\Framework\Stdlib\StringUtils $string
*/
public function __construct(\Magento\Framework\Stdlib\StringUtils $string)
{
$this->string = $string;
}

/**
* check some rule for password & transform temporary attribute 'password' into real attribute 'password_hash' process.
*
*/
public function beforeSave($object)
{
$password = $object->getPassword();

$length = $this->string->strlen($password);
if ($length > 0) {
if ($length < self::MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH) {
throw new LocalizedException(
__('Please enter a password with at least %1 characters.', self::MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH)
);
}

if (trim($password) !== $password) {
throw new LocalizedException(__('The password can not begin or end with a space.'));
}

$object->setPasswordHash($object->hashPassword($password));
}
}

/**
* @param \Magento\Framework\DataObject $object
* @return bool
*/
public function validate($object)
{
$password = $object->getPassword();
if ($password && $password === $object->getPasswordConfirm()) {
return true;
}

return parent::validate($object);
}
}

Hope, It will helpful for you.
