Q: password
I've tried to manage my Apple ID account online but it says my password is not strong enough and won't let me get in until I have created a stronger one.
The password I already have is accepted by iTunes, App Shop, this Community, etc.
The 9 character password contains a mix of upper and lower case alphabetic letters and a number of numeric digits; the letters do not make up a word that is in any dictionary I have seen (although I expect someone would be able to make an anagram from a subset of them).
What more do I need to do?
It is difficult enough to remember all my passwords as it is, any more meaningless and I will have to resort to writing it down - is that what Apple are trying to make me do? Why do they not want me to have a password I can remember? Why can I not use my existing password that I know works?
iPhone 3GS, iOS 6.1.3
