This seems... unnecssary. No one in GNOME is "disabling the user".
Remember that Fedora — like GNOME, for that matter — is maintained by
volunteers. For whatever reason, this package is ma

BTW, just noticed a bug. pwgen doesn't have an option to use numbers only (for
creating PINs) so I tried to use "pwgen -n 1" to generate a sequence of random
digits. But all of the 1-character passwords are lower-case letters, no digits.

makepasswd also looks useful. It's clumsier to use, but more flexible. You use
the -c option followed by a string to specify the exact set of allowed
characters. The following prints all of the 94 non-space printable characters:
for (( c=33; c<=126; c++ )); do printf "\x$(printf %x $c)"; done

Though, I'd say it's accurate.
You could build up a list of things that keep getting removed from your
control in Gnome. I'm not going to attempt to build up an extensive

Many websites don't allow even 30 chars. One of the important ones I use allows
only 16 characters (and no 2FA option), but happens to allow special
characters. Using the largest possible character set is the only way to shore
that up.
