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

[Sebastian Benvenuti]

reinodeespana = Weak (miss spelled)
reinodeespaña = Fair (spelled properly)
it's the "Ñ", witch is NOT a special character in any es_ locale.

republiquefrancaise = Weak (miss spelled)
républiquefrançaise = Good (spelled properly)

the "é" and the "ç" add extra strength, thought it's how french people
write it.

Having in mind that the only access the password provides in a default
installation is with physical access to the machine, not by a random
internet bot or virus, how is that stronger when it's spelled correctly?
(according to the declared locale/country/keymap)

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.
