Summary
Today, password reset in Element behaves unexpectedly:

  • Asking users to set their password before they validate their email address is an atypical journey they don't have affordance for
  • We should validate password complexity requirements server side
  • We should implement password complexity on all platforms (currently lacking on iOS & Android)
  • We should prompt to log out other devices when rotating passwords

I hope I don't misunderstand the scope of this issue, but it should be possible to retain the session-ID to avoid re-verification of identities, if I understand the last point correctly.
Users would not understand why they should verify their devices/encryption again only they changed the password.
I'm refering here to point 4 to "prompt to log out other devices when rotating passwords".
