Bug Description

I wanted to change my Ubuntu Signle Sign On password. I'd like to use special characters (accented letters, but a japanese person might like to use kanas) in my passwords, because it feels more secure, however I got the message mentioned in the title.

I believe it is an unreasonable limitation, if there is no good reason why Ő or ば or 😸 can't be part of a password, then they should be allowed.
