There is no such widget in fedora installer so far as I know. What
repeatedly happens on both fedora23workstation-x86-64 and
fedora24workstation-x86-64-beta is I enter a password for root then I
can hit enter or tab and enter the same password for confirmation and
then hit the _done button and am repeatedly told root password not set
user account will not be created. The downloaded beta version was from
bittorrent and Fedora23 was through wget since I couldn't find a torrent
for that iso.
If the fedora spins ever include the orca dependency stack, and if those
install better than workstation, I'll be able to run orca on kde and
start testing jovie and kaccessible but there doesn't appear to be any
interest in that by spin developers.
I thought in light of the difficulties that prompted this thread Fedora
had length and character requirements for root passwords like navy
passwords used to be 14 characters long and you had to have two upper
two lower two numbers and two symbols in them.

Subject: Re: Fedora23 workstation install
afaik, there's no requirement. You could even have an empty passwd. That
would be more than foolish, of course, but you could do it. I can tell
you that my Fedora passwords are much shorter, for instance.
Are you perhaps getting confused by an evaluation widget that gives real time
feedback on the strength of your entered password? I believe there's
this kind of guidance going on in the graphical environment. My
passwords do well on that widget because I avoid correctly spelled
dictionary words, and I mix case, numerics, and punctuation into my
passwords. Still, the number of chars can be counted on your fingers.

What are root password security requirements for Fedora23? How many
characters; what types of characters as minimums? Passwords I've entered
one of which was 14 characters in length may be too short, but the installer
doesn't complain coherently and explain exactly what is wrong with a
password so I can't tell what I'm doing wrong.
