Has anybody tried to implement "Force staff to change password"
My orginasation wants me to make so that at least every 90 days all staff should change password.
and increase of password strength meaning Cappital, numbers, spec chars, and at least 8 char long.

To achieve this you would have to modify database structure and some portions of the code - out of the scope of my support I'm afraid.

I don't want to argue your company's policies, but forcing users to change passwords that often usually makes things *less* secure, because nobody remembers their password and they just write it down and keep it somewhere close which defeats the whole purpose.
