I have trouble registering to your website. More specifically I opted for linkedin based registration but the process stops with a message that the password is weak although I use a couple of special characters, numbers and text in both lower and capital characters

Please use a stronger password.

In fact, the requirements are quite relaxed already. I wanted to make it even more strict, but my partner insisted on relaxing them.

The age of simple passwords are long gone, as they are really easy to crack with enough budget.

Have you considered a password manager that can generate random unique and strong passwords for each website (and store them securely) for you?

Passwords are a terrible form of authentication anyway -- if it's something that actually matters, use some form of 2-factor auth.

Requiring a long password on a site where the impact of a breach is minimal is not a good policy, you're just going to get people who can't ever login.
