--- Comment #28 from Philippe Verdy <[email protected]> 2009-11-14 19:06:56 UTC --- "I do not believe in restricting user's passwords to force them to be stronger: users choose their own passwords, as wisely or as unwisely as they want". Did I suggest that? No. I exactly propose to help user to choose their password wisely, and in fact more freeely that what the other suggestions below are doing, because I don't want to force users to use a mix of capital/lowercase letters, or digits. The algorithm will be relaxed enough to allow users to choose whatever characters they want, or the password length they want, or even pass phrases (when accepting spaces), WITHOUT reducing the search space (in fact it does NOT restrict the search space, but increases it by allowing MORE freedom for users, and MORE difficulties for password crackers). And I also give caution that dictionnary lookups are bad if the dictionnary is wellknown and is enforced in a restrictive way (because it will actually help the password crackers if it is enforced). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
