One of my clients is having problems with their user accounts. It will not let them enter passwords for people with similar last names.
This is the message that pops up:
Password found in list of "most common passwords", please choose a more secure password.
We are OK with using common passwords because it is the username that has significance.
Any thoughts?

Hi Meg,
Although I'd encourage your client to use passwords that are more secure, if you'd like to stop the password being found in the list of most common passwords, there is an easy work around.
In the directory /csmb/lib/ is a file called login_password_blacklist.txt. If you delete the passwords listed after line 4, when the system checks against the list it won't find any matches.
When making changes to core CMSB files, it's recommended that you backup the site and database first just in case anything happens.
Thanks,
Greg
