Bug#483849: vino-preferences does not allow secure passwords

[Markus Schaber]

Package: vino
Version: 2.22.2-1
Severity: important

I set this bug to important, as it is security relevant:

It seems that vino-preferences does not allow one to 
enter passwords with more than 8 characters - it should
be the other way round, it should encurage (if not 
enforce) longer passwords.

Thanks a lot,
Markus
