Well, it's not requiring *all* the symbols; just one. Surely you can find one!
;-)
Anyway, this is parametric; look at IS_STRONG's signature.
However, it's inappropriate to show this message during password checking. It
should only show up during password selection. I do this; it would have to be
modified if you're using the automatic auth table.
# invoke IS_STRONG only for password creation, not password checking
if "login" not in request.args:
auth.settings.table_user.password.requires.insert(0, IS_STRONG(min=8,
max=0, special=1))
