OpenMRS allows user password strength configuration via 'Advanced Settings' or 'Settings (formerly Global Properties from 1.8 downwards)'. This helps in choosing appropriate password strength validation according to your implementation. Though OpenMRS provides the ability to turn off different password validators but it is never a good idea to use weaker passwords for data which has sensitive and confidential patient information.

Configuration Settings:
...
Goto Settings (formerly Global Properties from 1.8 downwards) in your OpenMRS server Administration > Advanced Settings and navigate to section having properties prefixed with security.*.

security.passwordCustomRegex
security.passwordMinimumLength
