Can I create my own password quality check dictionary
Question
How do I create my own password quality check dictionary?
Answer
If you want to create your own dictionary for the password quality check, e.g. to exclude the company name, you can do this via a simple text file (one word per line) in the /usr/share/dict folder.
The update can be performed manually with:
/usr/sbin/update-cracklib -a -r /etc/cracklib/cracklib.conf
or automatically by cron once a day.
