 * I am having an issue where users are being forced to reset their password with
   12 characters and as result making it to difficult for our users to remember 
   their password. Is there a way to make it easier for them to change their password
   to even 8 characters?
 * I had iSecurity theme installed but disabled it as it was causing a conflict 
   on the site. I am also using a wordpress/buddypress theme.
 * Any assistance would be greatly appreciate.

 * Hi,
    if i am not mistaken WordPress by default does not have any restriction 
   on the no of characters so it must be coming from a plugin or custom code / custom
   theme.
