Description Sven Klemm 2005-11-25 03:17:23 UTC 
The function that generates the password for 'Mail me a new password' statically
generates a password with seven characters and ignores the value set in
$wgMinimalPasswordLength.

Fixes Bug 4071
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2005-11-25 23:21:03 UTC 
The patch removes the digit. Is that wise? (It might be better to change it randomize 
which chars are which).
Comment 3 Sven Klemm 2005-11-27 05:32:03 UTC 
Created attachment 1104 [details]

Comment 4 Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 2005-12-01 00:51:23 UTC 
Will the user be unable to log in with the new password if it's below the limit?
If so this is a blocker.
Comment 5 Sven Klemm 2005-12-01 01:27:09 UTC 
Yes, login with a password shorter than $wgMinimalPasswordLength is not possible.
(changed the severity to blocker)
Comment 6 Brion Vibber 2005-12-01 08:49:31 UTC 
Applied on HEAD and REL1_5. Will be in 1.5.3.
