           Summary: Random password suggestion should respect minimum
                    password setting
           Product: Koha
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Patrons
        AssignedTo: galen.charlton at liblime.com
        ReportedBy: oleonard at myacpl.org

member-password.pl suggests a random password to the user, but it doesn't
consider the minimum password length when doing so. Koha should suggest
passwords that meet the minimum password length.

[10:08] <owen>  My point is that since there can be a minimum length for
passwords, this form shouldn't suggest something too short.
[10:08] <owen>  Trying to get to the bottom of how to make that work with all
this random stuff
[10:10] <acmoore>       would it help to move that kind of logic to a function
that we can write some test methods for? maybe in the C4::Members module or
somewhere?
[10:10] <owen>  Or, we could junk it altogether. member-password.pl is the only
place that tries to suggest a random password.
[10:10] <owen>  Does anyone use it?
[10:11] <owen>  It might become relevant if we do some kind of online patron
registration system, but as it is I don't personally see the point
[10:13] <acmoore>       I don't know if anyone or any code actually uses it.
[10:14] <acmoore>       I wrote a similar method in t/lib/KohaTest.pm:
'random_string'. it's pretty similar. If you're looking to replace the logic in
member-password with something, feel free to copy that method to a function
somewhere in C4 or something.
