I fully agree, and this is why the RFC is very clear that the *only immediate change proposed* is an increase in required minimum length from one character to six. It does not suggest that we require more complex character types, such as mixed upper/lower case, numbers, symbols and so on. Just increasing the length, and hopefully suggesting to users how to pick a strong password, is plenty for MediaWiki defaults. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
