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.
