How do I set minumum password requirements in Umbraco for the membership provider?

Question

I am trying to set minimum password requirements for my membership provider in Umbraco. Currently my web.config membership section looks like this:

   <membership defaultProvider="UmbracoMembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="Another Type" passwordFormat="Hashed" minRequiredPasswordLength="7" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="1" />
        <add name="UsersMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.UsersMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" passwordFormat="Hashed" minRequiredPasswordLength="7" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="1" />
      </providers>
    </membership>

However, when I login in through the website and change my password, it will let me use a password of any length and makeup. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks!

Typically custom membership provider settings are passed as custom xml attributes on the tag itself. You can see one there already: "userIsOnlineTimeWindow." Fire up Reflector and have a dig around the Assembly containing that provider, or praise-jeebus, RTFM. :D
