I tried it today with the images built for anaconda dnf test day [1]. The results are very
much different, see below:
'my name is' (good) (10 chars)
weak
'bacon4eva!' (strong) (10 chars)
fair
'hamncheese.' (strong) (10 chars)
fair
'GoPatriots!' (strong) (11 chars)
good
'hey, you!' (good) (8 chars)
weak
'8crayons.' (good) (9 chars)
fair
'latte2015' (good) (9 chars)
weak
So, 3 of your 7 proposed passwords are not allowed in Anaconda.
All of these are also weak (8 characters randomly typed on the keyboard, containing an
uppercase letter, a number and a special character):
mT5&sofj
lk6m*Afh
4muDb^pd
s@tYu9vb
... and I assume *everything else* based on this formula, according to my testing.
I wonder why is my experience so vastly different from yours?
