Why password_does_not_meet_requirements_message is defined private

[igor-alexandrov]

I want to reuse password_does_not_meet_requirements_message in some custom forms using InternalRequest feature, but it is defined as private. https://github.com/jeremyevans/rodauth/blob/master/lib/rodauth/features/login_password_requirements_base.rb#L87

At the same time invalid_previous_password_message and some other password validation methods are defined as public. Can anybody please explain why?

Thank you.

In general, the default is to have methods private unless they are deliberately designed to be used publicly. I don't have a problem changing the visibility of that method to public, please send a pull request if you would like that (make sure all overridden methods use the same visbility).

Got it. Thank you Jeremy!
