Solution

The third generation of the Sign-In Widget allows end users to validate their passwords against password policy complexity requirements in real-time. It also offers the same user experience as the second generation and adds accessibility improvements in color contrast, focus management, and screen reader behavior. 

 

The third-generation sign-in widget can be enabled by going to Customizations >  Brands > [Brand] >  Pages > Sign-in Page > Configure > Settings > Enable Use third generation under Third-generation widget.
