Motivation

I am using lldap_set_password --bypass-password-policy to migrate passwords from another system. Some of these passwords aren't 8 char long, and I need to maintain them. I'm fine with not being able to modify passwords so the current enforcement in the password change web UI is fine, but I don't see why the login screen should disallow short passwords, when they are correct.

Describe the solution you'd like

Remove the check for 8 chars in the login screen.
