| [`validate_password.enable`](/system-variables.md#validate_passwordenable-new-in-v650) | Newly added | This variable controls whether to perform password complexity check. If this variable is set to `ON`, TiDB performs the password complexity check when you set a password. The default value is `OFF`. |
| [`validate_password.length`](/system-variables.md#validate_passwordlength-new-in-v650) | Newly added | A check item in the password complexity check. It checks whether the password length is sufficient. By default, the minimum password length is `8`. This variable takes effect only when [`validate_password.enable`](/system-variables.md#validate_passwordenable-new-in-v650) is enabled. |
| [`validate_password.mixed_case_count`](/system-variables.md#validate_passwordmixed_case_count-new-in-v650) | Newly added | A check item in the password complexity check.

The value can be `0`, `1`, or `2` (corresponds to LOW, MEDIUM, or STRONG).
