Show Password Requirements on Signup Form for Authenticator

[RoboticMind]

On which framework/platform would you like to see this feature implemented?

Flutter

Which UI component is this feature-request for?

Authenticator

Please describe your feature-request in detail.

When creating an account, it is helpful for users to see all the password requirements beforehand so they don't end up submitting multiple passwords only to learn it's failing a requirement they didn't know existed. Currently, there is no obvious way in Flutter to show the password policy requirements to the user without creating an entirely custom UI. This requires quite a bit of work just to display something that feels it should be built in

Please describe a solution you'd like.

On the default signup form, have something showing the password requirements or some option to do so (or at the very least an option to add some description text above the password field)

We love contributors! Is this something you'd be interested in working on?

@RoboticMind - This sounds like a reasonable request and it is something that the JS authenticator supports. I don't have a time frame for when this will be supported, but we will keep this ticket updated when we do.

@RoboticMind - After taking another look at your request and the behavior of the JS Authenticator, I am not sure if aligning with the JS Authenticator would satisfy your use case. The behavior in the the JS Authenticator is as follows:

• Any missing password requirements display after the user exists the form field
• Once the list of missing reqs is displayed, it updates as the user types

You can see that behavior here if you tap on "Create Account", type in a short password, and then exit the firm field. Is that what you are looking for or do you want the password requirements to always display (prior to the user entering any password)?

[RoboticMind]

That behavior would work. It might be preferable to have other ways of displaying it, like always listing the password requirements but in red/green depending on if they're met, but it would still be alright without

Thanks for looking at this, I appreciate it!

I am a colleague of @RoboticMind. We may be able to contribute something back here (with some guidance). PR #3687 can be a starting point for discussion. This is the solution we are currently using to implement this behavior. We're open to any suggestions or feedback to make this better.

Cheers,
