Bug Description
Launchpad imposes rules that narrow the space of possible passwords. Such rules, which partially predetermine the password, should be made explicit to save hassle.
Currently this happens:
I try to log in and get "Password didn't match". I'm forced to click "Forgot your password?", get the validation code out of my e-mail, enter it and a Captcha, and get to the screen for choosing a new password. Only at this point I see some rule, like "5 distinct vowels". And (knowing me), that implies my password must be "uoiae". So I cancel, and log in with my now remembered password. Showing the rules up-front would have saved me the hassle.
(I made that rule up to illustrate the issue. Launchpad demands something like "at least 8 characters, including at least one upper case letter and one number" -- same effect. BTW, I think you mean digit not number).
