Enable tags functionality

Moodle1.9

From Moodle 1.9 onwards, users may tag themselves and create interest pages around those tags.

Password policy

Moodle1.9

From Moodle 1.9 onwards, a password policy may be set up, ensuring users choose passwords of a certain length etc.

There is a check box to determine if password complexity should be enforced or not, the option to set the minimum length of the password, the minimum number of digits, the minimum number of lowercase characters, the minimum number of uppercase characters and the minimum number of non alphanumeric characters.

If a user enters a password that does not meet those requirements, they are given an error message indicating the nature of the problem with the entered password.

Enforcing password complexity along with requiring users to change their initial password go a long way in helping ensure that users choose and are in fact using "good passwords".

Disable user profile images

From Moodle 1.9 onwards, the ability for users to change their profile images may be disabled.
