Good idea, though it actually accepted the 20-character alphanumeric 
password without symbols just fine. I believe there used to be a requirement 
for a symbol, but this does not seem to be a hard requirement anymore, there 
is a more complex strength check now.

To "break" the password offline with a GPU, you need a hashed password to 
begin with. If I log in securely over HTTPS and if the server is not 
compromised (and neither is my computer), you do not get my password, 
neither hashed nor unhashed. So then you need to actually brute-force the 
password by logging in to the server, the GPU will not help you a bit, and 
you will likely get blacklisted pretty quickly. So I see this as an absolute 
non-issue.

Well, yes, I store the password in KWallet, so it was not a major 
inconvenience to have to generate and store a new one. It was just an 
entirely unnecessary inconvenience.

See how easy that was. And your using random passcodes tells me that
you keep them in a password manager, which means that you don't need to
type the passcode, so you have no need to limit its length.

Can't you find some actual problem to be angry over?

It is not like that password is for a bank account or for a build

password really have to be?


9 characters password in 2022 is considered 'easy breakable' thanks to

Maybe start using some password manager to generate and store long 
enough passwords? Or invent easy to remember ones like "I am Kevin 
Kofler and this is my password#$78"?

You basically already mentioned your way out: log in with FAS.

To (mis) quote Randy Bush: "their application, their rules".
If you don't like them, find another provider.

I hope that RedHat quickly supports passkeys, where
this all becomes moot.

Unless you share your specific password (please do
*NOT* *NOT* do so), there is no way to know for sure
if the password has other issues.

For example, technically, PassWORD! meets most
minimal length and mixed case requirements, but
is clearly not a good password.

Ridiculous new Red Hat Bugzilla password security requirements

2022-10-13 Thread Kevin Kofler via devel
Hi,

today, Red Hat Bugzilla forced me to change my password because apparently a 
password of 9 random alphanumeric+symbol characters (1 symbol, 8 mixed-case 
alphanumeric) is suddenly no longer considered secure enough. This is 
absolutely ridiculous for a bug tracker. It is not like that password is for 
a bank account or for a build system (I believe FAS and thus Koji actually 
has less stringent password security requirements than that!), so how secure 
does the password really have to be?

I have generated a new 20-character random password with "pwgen -s 20 1", 
and that is good enough for Bugzilla (but who knows for how long?), but this 
is absolutely absurd.
