### (Optional): Customize your app's password policy

If you want to modify the password policy (e.g. require a capital letter or change the minimum password length), you would have to update the password check logic on the [signup/login reusable element](https://docs.airdev.co/canvas/2.0.0-1/using-the-template/reference/reusable-elements/signup-login). This logic also needs updated on the [`reset_pw` page](https://docs.airdev.co/canvas/2.0.0-1/using-the-template/reference/pages/reset_pw-page). Below are a set of screenshots that show specifically how to do this.

The icon on the login inputs and the icon's group also need to be updated. This is the `reset_pw` page.

Remember to change the conditions of "Button CONTINUE" as well.

In order to require special characters or capital letters in the password, you'll need to edit the Regex conditions found in these groups and in the UI of the focus group which lists the password requirements. That is beyond the scope of this guide.
