Need Help with login on backend

[chiliondanforth]

Is there a way to disable a bunch of the security captcha, and the " cannot use first name in new password"  ? Getting quite annoyed with the new password situation. If I forget my password I just need it to send me my password rather than make a new one.

Hello

The password is not stored in plaintext for security reasons. Only the password hash is stored, encrypted with the "one-way" encryption algorithm. During the authorization proccess, hash of the entered password is compared with hash in the database. Accordingly, it is not possible to obtain the original password

He is not asking to access the original password.  Instead to stop the captcha-like protection and the inability to EVER re-use a password.

Check configuration value

Settings->Configuration->My Store (insert into search field 2-step) -> 2-step backend authorization and set as FALSE

or/and

Managers->Members->(select your account)->Edit and set 2-step authorization override as Disabled or Global configuration

Thanks, that narrows it down.  Any way to reduce from the 12 characters?

Try to check this

Settings->Configuration->Admin Members-> Password Length and Password expiration

That nails it!  Thanks!
