[p***@intertrust.com]

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference: 7984
Logged by: passwordcheck module is not enforced by PGAdmin GUI
Email address: ***@intertrust.com
PostgreSQL version: 9.1.0
Operating system: Windows
Description:

Hi,

We've enabled the Postgres passwordcheck modules by following instructions
as mentioned on
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/passwordcheck.html

Now we find that this password strength check is only enforced in command
line mode. PGAdmin still accepts the weak password. Please fix.

Regards,
Pankaj

Did you read the large "Caution" box on that page?

We're not going to modify pgAdmin to send plain-text passwords over the wire.
