[Bug 821765] Re: The user account password requirements should be less strict
I wouldn't mind if control-center dropped its own checks and leaves the strength checking to PAM. There is already cracklib and other PAM plugins which check password quality for all interfaces (not just control-center). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/821765 Title: The user account password requirements should be less strict To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/821765/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 821765] Re: The user account password requirements should be less strict
Thanks :) Oh, some ways to reproduce this: Try changing to the password “a1.” You will be told that the password is too simple. (Interestingly, this doesn't happen with “password,” perhaps because it exceeds the length requirement). Try to enter a new password that contains a subset of your current password. For example, if your password is “password,” change to “passw1.” You will be told that the passwords are too similar. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/821765 Title: The user account password requirements should be less strict To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/821765/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
