Before releasing Flatpress 1.2, you should think about the fact that at the moment a password of 6 characters is still allowed when running the setup
At the moment you should use a password with at least 11 characters, consisting of upper/lower case letters, numbers and special characters.
See file: /setup/libs/main.lib.php
And by the way, some of the error texts are not included in the language files

It's quite disputed if this really creates strong passwords, since people tend to just use something like "[somesimplepassword]1!" (and after being prompted for a password change, simply "[the samesimplepassword]2!".
I for myself find the
xkcd method quite helpful (which even works without any special characters).
I just don't want to nag the FlatPress users too much there. I'd rather create a wiki page that discusses this topic and offers some good ways to create secure passwords.

And on the subject of passwords. Yes, there are too many passwords in lists. And yes, a 6-digit password ran through within an hour with all possible options.
Therefore, a 11-digit password, even if it is simple, takes a "
little" more time

Ah, I see. The localization of the setup steps
is on my list, but I didn't want to delay the release of 1.2 any further.

Length it is, indeed. Length, and the absence of personal information (names, birth dates, ...) and known phrases (song lyrics etc).
And to mention this explicitly: Thanks Matthias, for the huge part you contributed to the latest FP release again!

But why is it essential to ask during setup? And if I chose so, why shouldn't I be able to operate flatpress without any associated
mail adress?
For the sake of completeness: Freankiman answered this
here.
