Problem/Motivation
The password recommendation does not work as expected. On other websites it is very close to the password field and not "far" under them. Also it is not clear that these rules are mandatory or recommended.
Proposed resolution
Password suggestion has to be clear about what kind of and how strong passwords need to be used in Drupal.
Remaining tasks
New solution has to be found for password strength suggestion.
User Interface changes
To be determined.
Api changes
Unlikely

Anul CreditAttribution: Anul at Srijan | A Material+ Company commentedAs initially I get all these suggestions for my password :-
To make your password stronger:
And After I start entering my password these suggestions automatically keep changing/reducing according to Drupal's password validations. Suppose I have entered "gsh@54" so i will now see only two suggestions :-
Make it at least 12 characters
Add uppercase letters
So, What else should be the changes now ? What else it requires?
And these are not mandatory, these are only recommendations.

Gábor Hojtsy@Anul: And these are not mandatory, these are only recommendations. -- right, that is what is not clear, which this issue is about. What makes it clear from the UI that you don't need to fulfill all those rules for your password to be acceptable?

Anul CreditAttribution: Anul at Srijan | A Material+ Company commentedOkay Thank You @Gabor I understood and agree on the same.
What if we change some text to make it more clear that these are only recommendations and not mandatory.
Like :-
- To make your password stronger:
+ Recommendations to make your password stronger:
Make it at least 12 characters
Add lowercase letters
Add uppercase letters
Add numbers
Add punctuation

webchickNice improvement!
Committed and pushed to 8.2.x. Because it changes strings, I did not commit to 8.1.x. Thanks!
