Description
When one is signing up, there is a clear message that the password must be at least 6 characters long which disappears as soon as 6 characters are typed. However, when one fills in names and clicks the button, some other check is performed and it seems to reject even random 6 character passwords claiming that they are too weak:

The password requirements are correct, but messaging is confusing. Suggestions:
- display a message on the button as right now, but with the actual length requirement
- as soon as the length requirement is satisfied, run the library that checks the password for weakness and if it is not acceptable - show the error message on the button, do not suggest that it is time to move on to names
- there may be a note next to the password field or an info icon with a hover tip that "We use ... library to check that your password is not too weak, e.g. it is not Password123" - something to the effect that it is not just the length that matters.
