Marton,

You are right, the policy has now been updated since the last time I reviewed it. That said:

 - Before, all manufacturers had the same password policy, which allowed us to ahave the same password policy.
 - Manufacturers are now implementing their own policy, which means that each manufacturer may set different policies breaking a generalized approach.

That said, since this hardware seems to be non-certified, my recommendation is to change back to the default password policy and not the stricter one since it is not supported for this hardware. Adding support requires:

 - Creation of the new password policy based on the previously created
 - Testing across this new hardware and other hardware to ensure no regressions

As such, I've changed the title of this bug as a enablement request.

To work around the issue, revert back to the fdefault password policy instead of the stricter, as MAAS doesn't support the stricter password policy in this hardware.
