 Replying to [comment:1 Clorith]:
 > The current approach of providing a strong password, but letting the
 user go with one they created them selves and having to forcibly click a
 box confirming they are aware of the dangers is nice in that regard.

 I tend to agree. Personally, I use strong passwords even for development
 installs, but I've seen some sentiments on support forums that even the
 current "The password should be at least twelve characters long" phrase
 scares an average user and leaves an impression that the software is
 trying to outsmart them.
