How can I reduce requirements for DB user passwords? The option in Security Policy settings does not seem to affect DB users.

Hello! You can setup global password policy in panel.ini:

[passwordManagement]
defaultPasswordStrength = Weak

strength policy has levels from VeryWeak to VeryStrong according to this article:

Setting Up the Password Strength Policy

Weak passwords can easily be compromised by a brute-force attack. This allows threat actors some degree of access to the server, enabling them to deface hosted websites, send spam, steal information, and more.
