---[ System & Environment Information ]---
OS: Fedora Linux 43 (Xfce)
Anaconda version: 43.44
Anaconda UI version: 53.14.g7ea927aa

Tried to install F43 Xfce using a whole disk drive. When creating the user account and entering the password the installation process aborted immediately. I have discovered that this only occurs if the password consits of lowercase letters. Enter some lowercase letters and when entering the 7th or 8th letter anaconda will crash. But if you add at least one uppercase letter it seems to be working fine. The same thing happens if you create a password for disk encryption, using only lowercase letters will abort the installation in the same manner. Since anaconda webui does not provide any obvious guidelines for creating a password this is quite problematic. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start installation using anaconda webui.
2. Create password for user account or disk encryption using only lowercase letters.
Actual Results:
Installation process is aborted.

Expected Results:
Anaconda webui should either accept password or deal with password in a predictable way if the password doesn't meet specified requirements.   

Additional Information:
Don't know if this is also related to bug 2389356.
