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

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

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.
