Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I’m trying to log into iCloud.com, but every time I log in it shows the “choose a stronger password” screen. There’s no apparent reason, and my current password fits all the criteria
if I try to put in my normal password, it says “choose a password you have not used in the past year”
the screen shows up after entering the verification code
this is a personal iCloud account that nobody else has access to
it has never done this before
The 2FA account is created primarily from Mac and additional device iPhone is verified in the account , when weak passwords were created on iPhone ( say Apple ID created was example1@gmail.com ) and that is third party mail services yet an Apple ID and you sign in from www.icloud.com using a web browser it has to updated Change weak or compromised passwords on iPhone - Apple Support
It has to be updated on Mac Use iCloud Keychain to keep information secure on Mac - Apple Support

(Applies to macOS-Installed Macs only). Sometimes when changes are made to the system(i.e. updates), system configurations (i.e. for keyboard) become manipulated, technically. So, reset the SMC and NVRAM. Characters many not be entered correctly.
