    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.

    IBM has evaluated the request and has determined that it cannot be implemented at this time or does not align with our current strategy or roadmap.

    • B2Bi/SFG is not a dedicated authentication service - most of our customers use an external auth service that specializes in advanced features such as this

    • If we implemented this, it would only cover passwords created using our UIs and would not protect other aspects of an enterprise deployment - an external auth service fulfills this role

    • We would also have to accommodate all the languages we currently support with the product and need to maintain that dictionary list in each of these languages with every release when external auth services already do this

    Thank you for bringing your ideas to us. If you have any additional feedback, thoughts or ideas, or if there is anything else I can do, please do not hesitate to reply to this message to continue the conversation.
