Since this is also in the patch, I would not really include these paragraphs in the patch since they are not all that necessary to be that verbose about it.
Removed a bit of the context from the commit message.
I would change this to "Fixes: FS#52297" instead.
Updated to just "Relates to" because I'd like to see the codebase stop using MD5 for passwords before I consider that fixed :) Patch follows, thanks for your help!

There are 95 printable ASCII characters which with a minimum length of 4 gives 95^4 or 81 million possible passwords. Increasing the minimum length to 8 increases the number of possible passwords by a factor of about 10^7. Relates to FS#52297.
