    Description

      STEPS TO REPRODUCE

      1. Login as Admin
      2. Go to Administer Wiki > Users & Rights > Registration
      3. Tick 'Require at least one lower case character in the password ', 'Require at least one upper case character in the password ', 'Require at least one number in the password' and 'Require at least one symbol character in the password'
      4. Save the page
      5. Login as an user (or with Admin)
      6. Go to Profile > Preferences and click 'Change Password'

      EXPECTED RESULTS

      Above the 'Current Password' input (first) field, there are displayed upfront the conditions for changing the password (like required length, at least one lower case character, at least one upper case character, at least one number and at least one symbol).

      The first input field 'Current Password' is placed with some space down from the password conditions text above it.

      ACTUAL RESULTS

      Above the 'Current Password' input field, there is displayed only the required password length, the other requirements are displayed in red below the 'New Password' field as soon as the user types a password that doesn't meet the requirements, which can cause some frustration as this information is not brought upfront to user's attention.

      Also, the first input field 'Current Password' is placed a little too close up next to the text above it.
