--- Comment #11 from Matthew Flaschen <[email protected]> ---
I don't think we should guarantee that users with very weak passwords (say
under 6 characters, but we could draw the line elsewhere) should be able to log
in forever (without changing or resetting the password).

It was a mistake to ever allow such passwords, but we don't need to keep
perpetuating the mistake forever.  If we were to do this, though, we would want
to clearly notify affected users ahead of time, particularly those without an
email account (needed for reset).  We could consider notifying them at login
time for a certain period and/or requiring a password change, before blocking
login/requiring reset.

Another option is to only make this change for users with elevated rights (e.g.
admins).
