An acceptable password on installation

Realmworks installer apparently needs to protect me from having a weak password.

Is there some kind of financial implications for signing up for Realmworks?

Are hackers targeting Realmworks users to gain their financial information?

There will eventually be a market place. So, yes. There should be financial concerns when protecting your account.

Plus, in all honesty, I don't feel anyone should ever be criticised for exercising good security on a website!

I think it's more about site security - most of the big hacks nowadays are entire sites falling at once, with all passwords compromised in the process. I'd be cautious about any site run by a small company that wanted to hold payment information.

Plus what symbols are allowed? That should be in the error text when symbols are refused. I use password management that hurls a string of garbage as a password and remembers it so I don't have to. Symbols allowed make better garbage.

Mouse over the blue info dot. That tells you what symbols are allowed.
