I was changing my password on Ubuntu 14.04 and wondering why is this password not good enough:
pr#cur@rempr_3go!
My current password is procurar@empr3go!
Any ideas?
I think this answers my question: A strong password is significantly different from your previous password.:
Strong Passwords
Applications, and libraries exist for your Ubuntu system to assist in
generating, or enforcing strong passwords. A strong password is
defined as any password which meets the following criteria:
- At least fifteen (15) characters in length.
- Does not contain your user name, real name, organization name, family member's names or names of your pets.
- Does not contain your birth date.
- Does not contain a complete dictionary word.
Is significantly different from your previous password.
Should contain three (3) of the following character types.
Lowercase Alphabetical (a, b, c, etc.)
Uppercase Alphabetical (A, B, C, etc.)
Numerics (0, 1, 2, etc.)
Special Characters (@, %, !, etc.)
Since my current password and the new password ends with 3go!, Ubuntu won't let me reuse it.
Thank you all!
