Please don't play here, this is a production Bugzilla instance and you're wasting the developers' time.
If you're in a class that's covering Bugzilla and your instructor told you to try it here, please point them here:

Er, no, the original report is valid. The subsequent comments are spam.

And I like the idea. Bugzilla should have an inline validator and strength indicator for the password field. I don’t think I have time to implement the functionality though.

Seems related to bug 36843 though that one seems a little too general to call this a duplicate.

Yes, I like the idea, too, and could swear we already had this bug filed somewhere, which is the only reason I reacted to the spam comments that way. Thought maybe they just copy/pasted the original bug. But I can't find it anywhere, so I must have been dreaming. Sorry about that.
