This security enhancement strengthens the protection of user data by enforcing more robust master password requirements. It implements a tiered approach: the UI now requires a 12-character minimum with a complexity check (4 unique characters) for new setups and password changes, while the cryptographic layer maintains a defense-in-depth minimum of 8 characters to preserve backward compatibility for existing users while preventing future weak entries. All limits are centralized in the LIMITS constant for consistency across the application.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 2915484525554734431 started by @apsolut

🚨 Severity: HIGH
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: Weak master password requirements allowed short or simple passwords, reducing security of encrypted data.
🎯 Impact: Brute-force attacks on encrypted localStorage data are easier with weak passwords.
πŸ”§ Fix:
- Increased minimum password length from 8 to 12 characters in UI validation.
- Added a complexity requirement of at least 4 unique characters for new passwords.
- Implemented defense-in-depth in the cryptographic layer to enforce an absolute minimum of 8 characters.
- Centralized password length limits in `lib/constants.js`.
βœ… Verification: Verified with Playwright script showing error messages for short and simple passwords, and successful build with `npm run build`.
