https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462606 Summary: Wish: Multilingual password option Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: novell@dotancohen.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- I know a woman who insists on using a numerical password because she can enter it no matter which language the keyboard layout is in. Therefore I suggest an option that Suse passwords be accepted depending only upon which keys are pressed, no matter which keyboard layout is selected. For example, the Hebrew letter "ש" is on the same key as English "a". So if the Kwallet password is "a" then the password "ש" would also be accepted. I do not think that this would reduce security as much as it may look. This does not reduce the amount of unique characters that one could use as a password. If crackers were to try to brute force a password, they would still have to check all the Latin characters individually, not like with case insensitivity. Also note that this feature would be optional, that is, a user would have to explicitly configure Suse to do this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
