How do I define the password rules for Identity in ASP.NET 5 MVC 6 (vNext)?

I actually ended up figuring this out, it turns out you need to supply AddDefaultIdentity with a suitable lambda expression that configures the IdentityOptions it provides. This is done inside the ConfigureServices method within the Startup class, like so:

public class Startup {
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) {

        // Add Identity services to the services container.
        services.AddDefaultIdentity<ApplicationIdentityDbContext, ApplicationUser, IdentityRole>(Configuration,
            o => {
                o.Password.RequireDigit = false;
                o.Password.RequireLowercase = false;
                o.Password.RequireUppercase = false;
                o.Password.RequireNonLetterOrDigit = false;
                o.Password.RequiredLength = 7;
            });
    }
}

Update 2:

The above was true in the beta1 versions of the framework, in the latest rc1 beta5 it has changed slightly to:

services.AddIdentity<ApplicationUser, IdentityRole>(o => {
    // configure identity options
    o.Password.RequireDigit = false;
    o.Password.RequireLowercase = false;
    o.Password.RequireUppercase = false;
    o.Password.RequireNonAlphanumeric = false;
    o.Password.RequiredLength = 6;
})
.AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationIdentityDbContext>()
.AddDefaultTokenProviders();

If you have set up a new Web project with Individual User Accounts go to:

App_Start -> IdentityConfig.cs

There you can edit the following defaults:

manager.PasswordValidator = new PasswordValidator
{
    RequiredLength = 6,
    RequireNonLetterOrDigit = true,
    RequireDigit = true,
    RequireLowercase = true,
    RequireUppercase = true,
};
