As Mendix continues to empower developers to create robust and secure applications, there is one feature that I believe would greatly enhance the flexibility and security management of Mendix projects: programmatic access to the project's password policy via the Mendix Java API.
Currently, password policies such as minimum password length, complexity rules, and expiration requirements are configured in the Mendix Modeler. While this graphical approach is user-friendly, it limits the ability to dynamically enforce or customize these policies through programmatic logic. Additionally, there’s no built-in API to retrieve these settings within Java actions or custom modules, which could provide invaluable benefits for enterprise-grade applications requiring stricter compliance or external system integration.
I propose that Mendix provides an API object or method (e.g., PasswordPolicy) within the Java API that:
