Can someone correct my grammar please

hi

I am correcting a manual and I am confused with "must" and "should"

Which one is correct?

It must match the length requirements defined in the product setting login/min_password_length and must be different from the previous/default one.

or

It should match the length requirements defined in the product setting login/min_password_length and should be different from the previous/default one.

It must = It is required. It won't work if you don't do this. It should = It is recommended.

Grammatically, both are correct.

They don't have the same meaning.

Which meaning do you need? Is it required or is it suggested?
