Password sent via reset password email is 'weak' and won't allow me to change my password
I was unable to login and so used the "Forgotten Password' process. I was sent a NEWLY-PROVIDED password and a link through which my password could be changed. The NEWLY-PROVIDED password allowed me to login.
Following the provided link I attempted to update my password to one of my own choosing. I am prompted for my current password, to which I supply the NEWLY-PROVIDED password just sent to me as well as entering a 'new' password of my own choosing (which meets all requirements). The change fails with the error message "Current password is weak". Note the 'weak' password causing this failure is the one sent to me in response to a Forgotten Password request. The 'new' password of my choosing does meet all requirements and was entered properly in both text boxes.

jifty::plugin::authentication::password::mixin::model::user
Jifty::Plugin::Authentication::Password::Mixin::Model::UUser3Contributed Perl DocuJifty::Plugin::Authentication::Password::Mixin::Model::User(3pm)
NAME
Jifty::Plugin::Authentication::Password::Mixin::Model::User - password plugin user mixin model
SYNOPSIS
package MyApp::Model::User;
use Jifty::DBI::Schema;
use MyApp::Record schema {
# custom column definitions
};
use Jifty::Plugin::User::Mixin::Model::User; # name, email, email_confirmed
use Jifty::Plugin::Authentication::Password::Mixin::Model::User;
# ^^ password, auth_token
DESCRIPTION
This mixin model is added to the application's account model for use with the password authentication plugin. This mixin should be used in
combination with Jifty::Plugin::User::Mixin::Model::User.
SCHEMA
This mixin adds the following columns to the model schema:
auth_token
This is a unique identifier used when confirming a user's email account and recovering a lost password.
password
This is the user's password. It will be stored in the database after being processed through Digest::MD5, so the password cannot be
directly recovered from the database.
METHODS
register_triggers
Adds the triggers to the model this mixin is added to.
password_is PASSWORD
Checks if the user's password matches the provided PASSWORD.
hashed_password_is HASH TOKEN
Check if the given HASH is the result of hashing our (already salted and hashed) password with TOKEN.
This can be used in cases where the pre-hashed password is sent during login as an additional security precaution (such as could be done
via Javascript).
validate_password
Makes sure that the password is six characters long or longer, unless we have alternative means to authenticate.
after_create
This trigger is added to the account model. It automatically sends a notification email to the user for password confirmation.
See Jifty::Plugin::Authentication::Password::Notification::ConfirmEmail.
has_alternative_auth
If your model supports other means of authentication, you should have this method return true, so the "password" field can optionally be
null and authentication with password is disabled in that case.
after_set_password
Regenerate authentication tokens on password change
regenerate_auth_token
Generate a new auth_token for this user. This will invalidate any existing feed URLs.
