Wrong displayed min password length

When I change the password, it is shown that the password must be at least 6 letters long.

However, if the new password is less than 9 letters then it will still give an error.

Re: Wrong displayed min password length

Forum? Wiki? What password form are you referring to?

Please read the forum Code of Conduct and then answer the question that you were actually asked, not the one that you made up.

Re: Wrong displayed min password length

On the password change interface, it's written the password should be a minimum of 6 characters, but having entered 8 characters long password, the next page informs me it should be a minimum of 9.

What are you talkin about?  To my knowledge, Arch doesn't impose any such limitation nor does it use a "change interface."

If the subforum wasn't clear enough, I'm talking about this Arch Linux Forums itself.

I assumed your were talking about your user's password on the live OS.
