Comment 9 for bug 821727

OK, the existing validation code is less strict (@joey *except* for canonical employees who have stricter requirements). Essentially:

        Validation is successful if:
            - password contains at least 8 characters
            - password contains only ascii characters

This has been the case since 2012-12-19, it's just that the report had remained open since then.

I don't think requiring at least 8 chars is unreasonable, and that's currently the only "attempt" to force the password to contain more information". I think this solves the initial request so I'll close this report.
