lowercase vowels

Unhappily uncapitalized letters

The lowercase vowels are the letters a, e, i, o, u (and sometimes y) written in their smaller form rather than as capitals.

In English, these five letters represent the sounds produced with an open vocal tract, distinct from consonants.

The password requires at least two lowercase vowels.
