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

[Jeremy Bicha]

As Seb already mentioned https://fedorahosted.org/libpwquality/ is a
smarter password strength checker. The library itself is already in
main.

Reopening the gnome-control-center bug since this will actually be fixed
next cycle. I think this should stay open as a wishlist bug against
ubiquity.

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

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

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.
