Here's the bug to allow overriding the strong password check: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688315
I still think ubiquity should use the same library for password strength checking (python-pwquality). Also, "contraseña" is a valid password because it's 9 characters long; "passwords" is also valid. cracklib, the underlying library, can use wordlists. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #688315 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688315 -- 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.
