3)
I expect the network-manager to accept wireless passwords of any length.  (Perhaps with a warning for short ones.)

4)
Wireless passwords that are too short are impossbile to enter using nm-connection-editor until they reach a minimum length.  In this case a coffee shop with the wireless password framed on the wall for all to see.
