So, here are the parts of the help text relevant to password creation:
"When entering a password, distinguish between uppercase and lowercase.
Passwords should not contain any special characters, such as accented
characters.
With the current password encryption (Blowfish), the password length should be
between 5 and 72 characters.
For the password, use only characters that can be found on an English keyboard
layout. In cases of system error, it may be necessary to log in without a
localized keyboard layout.
To ensure that the password was entered correctly, repeat it exactly in a
second field. Do not forget your password."
I admit it can be better, but it is no that misleading as reported.
This text same for quite a long time, so I wonder why there would be security
issue right now.
I've closed the bug because if the texts would be changed now, they would not
get translated.
