Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

So regarding passwords for the casual as for the expert user once and for all the xkcd comics stripe on passwords: https://xkcd.com/936/

And when I use a passphrase that my password manager generated, the sign up form called it "weak".

A much shorter password (about half as many characters) that is arguably weaker and has less entropy was considered "strong". Just because it had punctuation.

Then respectfully it might be your fault, but I don't know the metrics for which Lemmy rate the passwords, you can also use this other estimator, download the local version of course:
https://github.com/dropbox/zxcvbn

I for instance used a simple setting:

and got:

;;75.cupcake.manly.argument.53%%

testing it on https://lowe.github.io/tryzxcvbn/

Lemmy although gives it a "medium" quality rating to the password, so I guess it must estimate it differently
