One of my users brought to my attention an interesting item.... I have WHM set to enforce a password strength of 65 across the board for every item.

If the user goes into their cPanel and tries to create an email account using a password in the following pattern:

aaaa+aaaa#

a = lower case alpha character (same as above example)
+ = special character "+"
# = a number (e.g. "5")

So they try to use a password something like this: bnhg+ijyf2

The "Password Strength" indicator will show a strength of 82 / 100 and turns green. However, when the user then tries to create the account it returns an error saying, "Sorry, the password you selected cannot be used because it is too weak and would be too easy to crack. Please select a password with strength rating of 65 or higher."

What's up with that? Any ideas? TIA!
