@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Aug 28, 2025):

The error message appears to come from a custom password validator that has been configured for your NetBox instance; it's not part of the core product. By default, NetBox enforces only a minimum length and character diversity for passwords (see the AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS configuration parameter).

Converting this to a discussion as it's not native behavior.
