Ok, so this is probably a 'feature' (will research why later, for now, I'm
using '-t' but still can't get it working 'right')

-bash-3.1$ ssh -tt abat at localhost passwd

You can now choose the new password or passphrase.

A valid password should be a mix of upper and lower case letters,
digits, and other characters.  You can use a 12 character long
password with characters from at least 3 of these 4 classes, or
an 8 character long password containing characters from all the
classes.  An upper case letter that begins the password and a
digit that ends it do not count towards the number of character
classes used.

A passphrase should be of at least 3 words, 16 to 40 characters
long and contain enough different characters.

pick this as your password: "sharp_strait_drown".

Enter new password: 
Weak password: is the same as the old one.
Try again.
