Personally I'd prefer a slightly different solution. _Encouraging_ strong passwords, as the bug summary says, is excellent; making strong passwords _mandatory_ is not. Ideally there should be an option for admins to decide the level of security by selecting either "recommended" or "mandatory". Probably a suitable topic for an upstream bug... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1044868 Title: Ubuntu should encourage stronger passwords using stronger algorithms, note i18n issues Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When you set the password during the installation or also when you change it via the gnome-control-center you can insert a weak password (like "123456" or "qwerty" or "abcdef" or "password" itself) without any alerts, or so on. The suggestion is a password strength verification that includes the most used passwords (like "1234" or "qwerty") and a dictionary that includes the word password in every language. A special attention to language like Spanish where "password" is "contraseña", and where is the character "ñ" which can be recognize as a special symbol.
