Hi

I want to change the password requirements.

According to the documentation I can do this in Authentication → Database → (select connection) → Authentication methods → Password

When I click the “configure” button nothing happens. I am seeing a console error though so this looks like a bug?

Also tried this on a colleague’s computer with his account, same result.

Does anybody have an idea how to work around this bug?

Kind regards

Hi @LoposEnzo

Welcome back to the Auth0 Community!

Thank you for posting your question. You can achieve the same results with the Management API with the Update Connection endpoint → [Welcome to Auth0 Docs - Auth0 Docs](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2/connections/patch-connections-by-id), but before that, can you re-try to update the password configuration in another browser/try to do it in incognito mode.

Thanks!  
Dawid

Another browser and private mode didn’t help the issue in the Auth0 interface.

I did manage to update the password policy via the API though.

Hi @LoposEnzo

Does the issue still persists or are you able to update the policy properly through the Dashboard UI?

Kind Regards,  
Nik

Hello @nik.baleca

The UI bug seems to be fixed now.
