Yeah. I addressed that in the post. The odds are low, though, and come on, most users would have a good laugh ;)


Nope. There is no such thing as an average sense of humor. At a company I worked for we got a lot of crap for sending out passwords like "invisible*negro" and "murdered#pakistani". The odds are not as low as you think.

Hell, we got crap for adding the tags "Russian" and "Jew" to people who were, in fact, from Russia and Jewish.


Agh! Good point! Some kind of regex should definitely be included.

Not very reassuing to anyone with a business. It wouldn't be hard to filter potentially offensive passwords, especially given that false positives don't matter.


I suppose I should provide more warning in the documentation itself. It is an easily resolvable issue, though, as you point out.
