And we want to strengthen the message: the better way is to have one _GOOD_ password in the average case openSUSE is installed - on people's home machines. For servers and company work stations this might be very different and there is the checkbox to easily disable it and enter a separate root password (most often already defined by team guidelines).
I think it would be better the other way: use the checkbox to enable equal passwords instead, the default being separate passwords. Or have some kind of setting somewhere at the start for easy/experienced/very experienced setup, o simple/secure/more secure/very secure/paranoid, that changes those defaults.
If you see a good reason to force the average home user to remember two passwords let me know. I don't know of any.
I guess many people use a relatively simple user password and a hard root password. And in any case, if you force a strong password, they will just write it on a postit stuck to the keyboard of monitor :-p - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
