The results are only viewable to me, so that when I realize that you've all guessed it and change it in a panic, I don't want you to know that you were right.
Based on what you know about me, what do you think is my password?

They update the password algorithm recently to make it tougher on those programs.
I don't think I do.
They should have a warning about that when they give you the "your password is too easy to guess" screen.
There are very good reasons for making the password algorithm more secure, and a FAQ for how to pick a secure one.
There is a post here about it-- basically a preview for Support volunteers for what's happening with it.
I will say it again though - "they" could do a better job, even at this early "we're just giving warnings" stage, of explaining WHY people are suddenly getting this message. I mean, I've had the same password since forever, and it's never been a problem, so I was both confused and annoyed when I started getting the message. Also, it was confusing to get it only when I updated, and not every time I logged in.
I suppose I should "tell it to Support", shouldn't I?
Thanks. Curious.
