Quote from @Michael S.:

@Alvin Sylvain

The system uses a password breach detector, and your current password may have been breached. I suggest changing to a new password at least eight characters in length with uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Also, don't use a previous password you have used for other sites. 

I did change the password ... in fact, it wouldn't allow me to proceed until I did!

I know all the password rules, and I changed it to something never used before, anywhere, by anybody.

The system was perfectly happy with that new password ... for all of five minutes ... then forced me to change it again!

I don't mind the extra security, in fact I encourage it ... but if you're gonna be a stickler for bad passwords, then you need to be a stickler at the point in time where the password is created! Not five minutes later!

Honestly, I expect I'm going to get locked out again coz I'm not going to remember what I changed it to.
