Password validation Error with Latin characters

[Adrian Mansilla]

I am using the function 'validate_password (password, new_user)' and I have my settings configured in Spanish, the problem comes when the validate_password function raises an error with the word 'contraseña' and shows me this error:
ValidationError: [u'La contrase\xf1a es demasiado similar a la de nombre de usuario.']
I am using python 2.7 and Django 1.11.4

This is the traceback:

Hi Adrian,

I don't see anything related to Django development in your post. Maybe this was more for the django-users mailing list?

Thanks for the reply.

I assumed that the error is in django because I do not send that message, Django sends it, the error is in:

django/contrib/auth/password_validation.py

And it's because my configuration is in Spanish.

Adrian,

I suspect:

1) Django is doing its work: It's checking the strenght and robustness of the password. It's detecting the password the user has chosen is too similar to their user name.

2) So, the fact the text shown has latin characters has nothng to do with the issue you are seeing.

3) The translation ('es') you are using isn't correct (https://github.com/django/django/blob/1a34dfcf797640d5d580d261694cb54e6f97c552/django/contrib/auth/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/django.po#L258) and this might be what is misleading you.

   The original English text is

     The password is too similar to the %(verbose_name)s.

   

   and the translation should be:

     La contraseña es demasiado similar a {{ verbose_name }}

   verbose_name has the value "nombre de usuario" in this context.

   To confirm this you could temporarily set the languante to English (en-us) or to the es-ar (castellano as it's used in Argentina) and verify the original text/a more correct translation (https://github.com/django/django/blob/1a34dfcf797640d5d580d261694cb54e6f97c552/django/contrib/auth/locale/es_AR/LC_MESSAGES/django.po#L253)

As Claude said, Please open a thread in the django-users mailing lis i f you need to follow up this.
