 * Hey,
    I like this plugin a lot! One problem I am having with it is when I try
   to change a password on the users page, I get a warning “Password too common.”
   It gives me this on every password I try. An example: srZ@!RaL5xlY+pyA$46^
 * Surely this is an acceptably strong password?
    Is there something I am missing?
   Right now I am turning off the plugin to change the passwords, then turning it
   back on. Any thoughts? You do good work, and this plugin rules! Thank you, Ian

 * Hi Ian:
 * I just updated my password to your example “srZ@!RaL5xlY+pyA$46^” and it was 
   accepted. The “Password is too common.” error message is produced when the password
   tried fails the `is_pw_dictionary()` test.
 * That means you have a file in the `login-security-solution/pw_dictionaries` directory
   that contains the password you’re trying. Or there’s a bug in my code that gets
   triggered
    by a file you have in one of your dictionary files. Feel free to send
   me your dictionary files. (See email address in the class level docblock in the
   plugin files.) Or better yet, dig into the code, add some debugging steps and
   see what’s happening. 🙂
 * Do note, that some of the _other_ tests are run against the non-leet, alpha only
   password. So you may be gettting tripped up by that, but you’d be seeing different
   error messages.
 * Thanks,
 * –Dan
