[Bug 1044868] Re: Ubuntu should encourage stronger passwords using stronger algorithms, note i18n issues

[Jeremy Bicha]

This is fixed with gnome-control-center 3.6.3 which has been uploaded to
raring for Ubuntu 13.04. You can't set 123456 as your password via
System Settings.

I'm reopening the ubiquity task as ubiquity should be updated to use
libpwquality. It's frustrating that it's possible to set a very easy
password when installing Ubuntu but you can't set that password via
System Settings.

** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Fix Released

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
       Status: Won't Fix => Triaged

Title:
  Ubuntu should encourage stronger passwords using stronger algorithms,
  note i18n issues

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When you set the password during the installation or also when you
  change it via the gnome-control-center you can insert a weak password
  (like "123456" or "qwerty" or "abcdef" or "password" itself) without
  any alerts, or so on.

  The suggestion is a password strength verification that includes the most used passwords (like "1234" or "qwerty") and a dictionary that includes the word password in every language.
  A special attention to language like Spanish where "password" is "contraseña", and where is the character "ñ" which can be recognize as a special symbol.
