@brianteeman this is wrong. The strings are for the Form Field Password and are required for the javascript part that does the check against the requirements (for the installation I think we hardcoded some, but for the rest front end/backend are configurable via the com_user, might be wrong for the component here, have to actually check). So all and all these strings are part of the password form field, if the team that did the last update in the template removed that functionality then they might appear as useless but ARE NOT.

Please do check because I couldnt see any

There few parts here:

• the password field at it's current state is not ok, needs #23215
• This section

  joomla-cms/libraries/src/Form/Field/PasswordField.php

  Lines 163 to 169 in b8bc589

  	if (Factory::getApplication()->get('db') != '')
  	{
  	$this->minLength = (int) ComponentHelper::getParams('com_users')->get('minimum_length', 4);
  	$this->minIntegers = (int) ComponentHelper::getParams('com_users')->get('minimum_integers', 0);
  	$this->minSymbols = (int) ComponentHelper::getParams('com_users')->get('minimum_symbols', 0);
  	$this->minUppercase = (int) ComponentHelper::getParams('com_users')->get('minimum_uppercase', 0);
  	$this->minLowercase = (int) ComponentHelper::getParams('com_users')->get('minimum_lowercase', 0);

  in the field controls the behaviour specifically for the installation, eg only thing we check is that the password cannot be less than 4 characters.
• The last update of the template had nothing changed regarding this, so if anyone got offended by this comment, I do apologise :(

That's my point - the strings are not being used in the installer
