I installed Elementary and I must say it went very well. I like that it goes right into installation.
After installation it collected some redundant information and it then got my user info.
I entered my name which became my login as well. I entered t1m3l1n3 as my password because I can quickly access admin functions but your software said it failed a dictionary test. All password fields were red. But I thought I'd see if it would be accepted regardless. Well it took the password, it came up to login, and.....MY ACCOUNT WAS LOCKED. The only account that can enter the OS and it was locked.
So then I swore and tried rebooting but still it went to the lock screen. So I had to reboot and reinstall. But that led to the install drive being locked up(??) and could not reinstall. I finally had to get my Linux Mint install which let me reformat and reinstall Mint.
How the hell can t1m3l1n3 fail a dictionary check?
If it ends up locking my account WHY let me move beyond the password creation screen?
Expected Results
While I cherish secure systems this is not a server. It is my person system. If I want a weak password then I should be allowed to enter a weak password. After all I have a boot knife sitting under my desk if an intruder wanted access to my computer.
If your rules are just 'do not allow' then for God Sake do not let me move off the screen until I have a password that will let me actually log into the system. If you have a backdoor login you should tell me, the installer, so I can use it. However clicking on my name did not expose any alternative ID I could enter or select. I was SCREWED.
Steps to Reproduce
Installed Elementary on my only NVME
Installation ran great, entered redundant info (language/keyboard AGAIN)
Entered my name, got my userID created, entered t1m3l1n3 as the password
My password was marked as failing the dictionary test. WTF?
With passwords red I tried seeing if I could continue anyway...it let me
Finished install and the login screen came up. My account was LOCKED.
Tried to reinstall the system and it could not access the drives. It acted like the drive was opened though it should not be opened during installation.
Expected Behavior
At the point in time my password was not accepted I should NOT be allowed to move forward until the password field is green.
OS Version
8.x (Circe)
Session Type
Classic Session (X11, This is the default)
Software Version
Older release (I have not run all updates)
Log Output
The elementary USB has many logs. I can email all of them to you if you wish.
