The easiest workaround is using other display manager like gdm. But a possible workaround is using libpam-passwdqc(universe) instead of libpam-cracklib(main). With "enforce=everyone"(default), it can reject a password which does not meet requirements even if changed by root.
But it cannot cover all requirement other pam modules have, e.g. "reject_username" in pam_cracklib and "remember=n" in pam_unix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1128226 Title: lightdm accepts weak password although pam says BAD PASSWORD To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1128226/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
