installer: password do not allow special characters
100%
Description
Yesterday I tried install DFly (4.8.0-release) within VirtualBox, and found that the installer do NOT allow special characters (":;,`~!@#$%^&*()+={}[]\\|/?<>'\" ") in the password field. See also the attached screenshots.
On the other hand, I can set password with special characters using the "passwd" command after installation. In addition, the installer allow special characters in the passphrase for disk encryption.
The corresponding source code is "usr.sbin/installer/dfuibe_installer/fn_configure.c" line 85:
#define PW_NOT_ALLOWED ":;,`~!@#$%^&*()+={}[]\\|/?<>'\" "
Why place such a constrain on the user/root password?
