2012-09-03 20:13:34 Mattia Rizzolo description This happened in a livecd installation from the ubuntu 12.04 desktop i386 iso file. During a installation on a VM I decided that the username should be usuario (user in spanish) and the password should be contraseña (password in spanish). The language of the installer was set to spanish. The bug is that the password "contraseña" was marked as acceptable (aceptable in spanish), witch is not. I suggest a password strength verification that includes the most used passwords (like 1234 or qwerty) or, at least, a dictionary that includes the word password in every language. I understand that the system must perceive the "ñ" character as a special symbol, but having declared a spanish keyboard it should not be treated as such. Nor with any other keymap and symbol that is non-english but present on them. When you set the password during the installation or also when you change it via the gnome-control-center you can insert a weak password (like "123456" or "qwerty" or "abcdef" or "password" itself) without any alerts, or so on. The suggestion is a password strength verification that includes the most used passwords (like "1234" or "qwerty") and a dictionary that includes the word password in every language. A special attention to language like Spanish where "password" is "contraseña", and where is the character "ñ" which can be recognize as a special symbol.
