Hi,

I noticed this behaviour as well while looking at creating this small fix. As
mentioned here: Bug 12617 (shameless ad), we've had some discussion at our
library about being able to have more configuration choices with regards to
patron passwords and I've done some preliminary work on changing the current
custom password generation to use a cpan library for easy configurability and
so forth. We also have a damning limitation with some of the appliances used by
customers where the devices only have numeric keys for password input... Things
I'm looking at:

- Making generated password complexity configurable
- Allow admins to enforce a separate password policy for regular patrons and
employees (for example)

I would be interested in hearing any thoughts related to this and whether any
of this would be useful in the community (we have some specific requirements
here after all).
