Passwords like "aaaaa" are allowed as the only requirement is that the password is at least 5 characters long Fix proposal: Allow for a configuration option that enforces high password complexity. Vendor fix: The new default for passwords is to require at least 3 of the following character classes: uppercase, lowercase, digits, and special characters. A minimum length of 8 characters is also configurable.
