New passwords will be required to be at least 12 characters

(Note: This release is following an announcement from the January 5 Release Notes here. This was available on our Builder platform first and is now being released on the Lending platform.)

Date Available: Beta 2/13, Prod 3/12

Which customers are impacted?: 
Anyone who allows applicants or enterprise users to create passwords in Blend, either from the login/sign up path or from within an application.

How to turn on: 
This feature will be automatically enabled for all customers on the dates listed above.

Purpose of Update and Benefit:
In order to support PCI compliance updates, we have updated the minimum length of passwords created in Blend from 8 (old) to 12 (new) characters. 

Current Behavior:
When a user creates a new password in Blend, either as a new user or as an existing user resetting or changing their password, the minimum length of the password is 8 characters. 

New Behavior:
Available now, when a user creates a new password in Blend, either as a new user or as an existing user resetting or changing their password, the minimum length of the password is 12 characters.

Note: For existing users not resetting or changing their password, no additional steps are needed and passwords are fine as is.
