'my name is' (good) (10 chars)
'bacon4eva!' (strong) (10 chars)
'hamncheese.' (strong) (10 chars)
'GoPatriots!' (strong) (11 chars)
'hey, you!' (good) (8 chars)
'8crayons.' (good) (9 chars)
'latte2015' (good) (9 chars)
I tried making up some passwords in Anaconda in F21, which uses the same
library. I had a difficult time making a password rated less than good
when I made passwords that were 10 characters with only lowercase
letters and no spaces or special characters. Add spaces, a punctuation
mark, or caps and it is instantly easier. I had a much harder time
making a new acceptable password for my Twitter account.
Is the concern that 10 chars is too long?

https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-listAll passwords of 8 characters are good, but some are better than other.In the past, I while installing, I used the simplist of passwords. On first logon, I then created a more sophisticated one, using € and ¥ and some other characters.For testing I propose to use ###abc123 for nine characters. Don't know if letter repeats of more than 2 characters will be permitted. It would be nice to have the acceptance rule.
