Description Scott Robbins 2015-07-25 15:21:32 UTC

Description of problem: Anaconda will not allow installation to continue if it doesn't consider the password strong enough.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Begin installation
2.Type in a password--for testing, try 1234
3.

Actual results:Ananconda stays on that screen


Expected results:That one can click done, or at least click it twice after a warning and continue


Additional info:
This was first put into Fedora 22, and after a great deal of protest was removed.  

There are a variety of reasons why this is not a good idea, most of which were stated in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1191842 as well as as a long thread on the Fedora testing list.  Please revert to the expected behavior, that a password will be accepted after a warning.  As mentioned in the previous bug report and thread, the password checking method used by anaconda was not all that effective

I totally support the submitter's view. It has been discussed thoroughly and there is no need to repeat it here.

Comment 2 Alan Bartlett 2015-07-25 17:03:27 UTC

The person performing the installation should have the ability to make such a decision.

To deny such a choice ("nanny knows what's best for you") is something that one may expect with a M$ product

The Fedora password policy is currently a work in progress. Please discuss your password policy issues at https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1455.
