I don't care of have a password strength, maybe like 8 characters and
one being a number, should be enough.  But they made it so strong, and
no information at all on what the problem was, nor info on minimum it
took to create one.

That and, guess I missed those millions of emails that complained on
passwords getting cracked and stolen from all the linux computers in the
world, that had to all of a sudden cause a panic to strengthen passwords
in the installer.
