GitHub: You must change your password! Make sure it's at least 15 characters OR at least 8 characters including a number and a lowercase letter.
Me: *provides exact same 8-char password including a number and a lowercase letter*
GitHub: The new password you provided is weak and can be easily guessed. Your password was not saved. Please choose a stronger password. Read our documentation on safer password practices.
Me: Fuck you.

My personal policy is that if i'm using two-factor authentication, then the password strength isn't as important and I'd rather use one I remember easily. If I can't use two-factor authentication (like with my bank), I'm using KeePass but it's a pain to use from my mobile device to log on a computer that isn't the one where I keep my KeePass archive.

In this case the irk comes from my password meeting their stated strength standard but is still rejected as weak which means I'll have to come up with a new password and I have no idea which criterion is actually be enforced, which for me is a non-starter a may drive me off GitHub in April when I won't have changed the password.

This is what happened after I clicked "Submit". I should report this as a bug then.

@Hypolite Petovan Off-topic, but... Do you plan to move away from github now that M$ owns it and is doing fuck knows what kind of machine learning on the habits and output of devs? That really worries me. They now have the worlds largest and most active opensource software repository, and all the big data that comes with it, at their disposal
