You can set the following attributes in the providers section
of your <membership defaultProvider...> element of web.config :

minRequiredPasswordLength
The default is 7

minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters
The default is 1

So, the answer to your question is "minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters", i.e.,
the number of minimum required Non-alphanumeric characters which users must provide.

Dabbler,
You can dabble your way on over to the MSDN for the old RTFM and read up on
the Membership class' properties:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...roperties.aspx

Most of these can be set in the web.config node for provider.

Cheers,

Peter
