I'm sorry to have to tell you that this method of measuring the strength of a password is outdated.

Isn't it horsebatterystaple?
The rules I listed are from the Linux manual, which is almost certainly outdated (it was intended only as a rough guide to illustrate a basic point), and IMHO passwords these days are pretty anachronistic - using public/private keys (and disabling passwords) is a much better/easier and more secure solution, and one we already support. I haven't used a password to login to OpenELEC/LibreELEC (or most of my other systems for that matter) for years, and only enabled the password in LibreELEC to test this feature (and I can testify it was tedious to enter, as I'm in and out of the system more frequently than most!)
The point is you now have the choice of setting whatever password you want, within reason (so long as it's not trivially simple/stupid). Debating password strength is something that should continue in it's own thread (please, so I can ignore it!
).
