Can someone explain how to alter the default password validation rules for Django's rest_auth library?



I imagine this can be done by copying the existing serializers and adding custom validation there. (Link to rest_auth serializer documentation) I could dive into this myself, but I think this will cost me a lot of time, and it would be nice if someone can give me at least an explanation on a beginner level.



Some people may think that I am lazy to even ask such a question, but please let's leave personal opinions out of this. I am quite a beginner programmer, diving into a lot of different technologies. A bit of help here and there can safe quite some time.



Besides that I am quite sure there will be others who will be looking for this information.



On my (React) frontend I am using the following validation rules, and I would like the backend to have the same:



Password must contain at least:
- one uppercase letter (A-Z)
- one lowercase letter (a-z)
- one of the following characters: !@#$&*
- one number (0-9)
Password must be at least 10 characters long
Password can not contain other characters than the ones above
