Comment:

 I am going to close this out as a `wontfix`. As @peterwilsoncc mentioned,
 it's intentionally difficult to create weak passwords. Regardless, I think
 adding a filter as suggested in #40046 would be a better solution rather
 than a lone filter in `wp-login.php`.

 It's also worth noting that there is a `random_password` filter that could
 be used to just return an empty string. While this is **absolutely not an
 endorsement of that**, it would probably accomplish what you are trying to
 do.
