When you change your password our website, the software checks your password for strength and makes suggestions on how to make it stronger. These are only suggestions, not requirements. You should choose how to trade off strength with ease of use. Of course, we do not recommend using weak passwords. Although this is not a financial site like a bank, there is a lot of politically oriented speech here, and you don't want someone guessing your password and misrepresenting your views or behavior.
