[Bug 1551265] Re: Ubiquity - <8-character passwords for turning off secure boot never match

[Paul White]

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all
reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago
and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-life on April 29, 2021.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when
using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you
do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days
time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

Title:
  Ubiquity - <8-character passwords for turning off secure boot never
  match

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Incomplete
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I launched the installer from a live USB desktop environment. After a
  couple of steps I marked the boxes to download updates while
  installing and install third-party software. To install third-party
  software I checked the box to turn off secure boot. I entered a seven-
  character password, but the installer said they did not match (but I
  know they do)! When I type any password combination, as long as it is
  less than 8 characters or digits, the installer says Passwords do not
  match. Any password with 8 characters or above work.
