Is "/usr/bin/passwd" working as devlers expected?

The root user can jut edit the password file so the assumption made is
that the root user has a certain amount of senses and is owned by someone
with a minimal degree of competence.

Hello,

This is normal. You must have a good password to send it.

Even if it is allowed in Fedora, would you really want a simple password
like this?
I'd suggest you choose a different password, maybe through the use of
pwgen or a different password-generator (though those are kinda hard to
remember).
