I installed libpam-pwquality:



sudo apt-get install libpam-pwquality


And configured /etc/pam.d/common-password:



password requisite pam_pwquality.so retry=3 minlen=10

password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so obscure use_authtok try_first_pass sha512
password required pam_deny.so
password required pam_permit.so


Then when I ran passwd, I could still set a password of 2 or 3 characters. What was missing?

          You need to set the options in pwquality's configuration file, /etc/security/pwquality.conf.
