Public bug reported:
In the installer for Ubuntu 12.10 amd64, with the "Encrypt the new
Ubuntu installation for security" option selected,
Typing the following in as a password:
Passw0rd
gives a "Good Password" evaluation.
Changing the password to
Passw0rdA9B
gives "Strong Password"
Changing to password
Passw0rdA9B9
gives "Short Password"
Changing to
Passw0rdA9B<any alpha-string><any number or symbol>
also gives "Short Password".
This error seems to require the presence of uppercase alpha characters or
symbols.
I expect that a password like
bR7#lpB6!
is not considered a "Short Password", when
lalala
is considered a "Fair Password".
In short, the password evaluation mechanism seems to be off. If there
is something wrong with this class of passwords, it would be useful to
see a more meaningful evaluation message.
