Description Nayna Jain CLA 2011-05-04 13:36:26 EDT 
Hi,

Presently when I create a login, and specify password for it.
It accepts anything from my "username" to "123" etc.

I think it would be good to have a password strength verifying algorithm to warn the user and probably also accepting passwords with recommended strength

This is a good candidate for next release.

We should do something minimal here.. at least 8 characters, include one non-alpha character, for starters.
