 When resetting password, the help text under password box says:

 {{{
 Hint: The password should be at least twelve characters long. To make it
 stronger, use upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols like ! "
 ? $ % ^ & ).
 }}}

 Although it says **should be at least twelve characters long**, I am able
 to use only one character!

 1. The above help text needs to be re-worded with some like:

 {{{
 Hint: The recommended length of the password should be at least twelve
 characters and must have at least X characters. To make it stronger, use
 upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols like ! " ? $ % ^ &
 ).
 }}}

 `X` can be a number say 6, 8 etc.

 2. I believe there needs to be a minimum length check.
