Password not strong enough.
 
Ye Gods! How strong do you want it to be?

That is the result of "dumb/lazy programmers".  They have a single
generic "error message" when something is wrong, but several very
different "checks" for strength of the password.  One of which would
appear to be that the actual issue is that there are no "punctuation"
characters and their code requires at least one "punctuation"
character.

And, naturally, there is no where on the page where you enter/change
your password that details the characters they expect to see (and those
they reject -- although rejecting *any* character in a password is a
sign of either a stupid programmer, or improper storage of the literal
password).

Try again with the commonly rejected punctuation characters ($ % ' *)
and see if they also have a rule of "no use of $" but their error
message is still "not strong enough" even though they meant "cannot
contain $".
