This Friday's build of Anaconda will no longer allow you to use weak passwords and click done twice. In order to promote more secureish default systems I have increased the password length required to 8 characters and removed allowing weak (as defined by libpwquality) passwords. I *know* this is going to be a bit of a pain to get used to. But the increased security is worth it. Super simple passwords will no longer be allowed, but it is still easy to come up with one that passes the checks. pwgen has lots of suggestions. And on the bright side, you don't have to click done twice anymore :) -- Brian C.
