PasswordPolicyValidator::validatePassword() doesn't return the declared value

Created on 12 October 2022, about 2 years ago

Problem/Motivation

PasswordPolicyValidatorInterface::validatePassword() is documented to return PasswordPolicyValidationReport, while PasswordPolicyValidator::validatePassword() returns TRUE when the password is too long.

  /**
   * @return \Drupal\password_policy\PasswordPolicyValidationReport
   *   Validation report object.
   */
  public function validatePassword(string $password, UserInterface $user, array $edited_user_roles = []): PasswordPolicyValidationReport;
  /**
   * {@inheritdoc}
   */
  public function validatePassword(string $password, UserInterface $user, array $edited_user_roles = []): PasswordPolicyValidationReport {
    // Stop before policy-based validation if password exceeds maximum length.
    if (strlen($password) > PasswordInterface::PASSWORD_MAX_LENGTH) {
      return TRUE;
    }

Proposed resolution

Change the @return line in the interface.
