When I create a new user password , there is a strict pam check telling me that the password has be 5 letters and must contain capital, small and numbers and so on. I understand the risks . what if I want something simple , all small letters for example. Could you create another button saying : I understand the risks, which would allow me to sidestep the pam check. Or, how to change this strict check.
Likely your distro uses pam_pwquality to enforce password length and complexity. This isn’t set by GNOME and can’t be bypassed by GNOME. You can look up a tutorial online for how to relax these requirements or ask in your distro support channels.
