Package: calamares Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: it9...@gmail.com I’m genuinely baffled by the current password safety checks in the installer. Forcing users into specific password requirements without any option to bypass them is downright excessive and borderline paranoid.
There are many cases where users don’t need, want, or care for the password restrictions, especially in secure, personal environments where the users are fully aware of what they’re doing. Not allowing an option to skip or bypass this is just ridiculous. Users should have the flexibility to set their own passwords, even if they don’t meet arbitrary complexity standards. This is supposed to be a tool for installing the operating system, not a nanny. Please consider implementing a bypass option in the password check, because this restriction is frustrating and unnecessary.
