--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
My understanding of the reason for this feature on smartphones is because
typing a long password is so annoying that people set short passwords,
defeating the security of passwords. But on a desktop system, typing a long
password, or even a medium length password presents no problems because the
presence of a physical keyboard makes the task easy.
In both of your examples, if security is not much of a consideration, then the
account's password itself should simply be short. And if security is a
consideration, it should be long.
Additionally, in the case of a shared computer in a non-secure environment,
typically the machine has one account with no password, or else multiple
accounts with simple passwords.
So I don't think we will be considering this, sorry!
