I would like to log a serious issue with
https://SoftwareCollections.org
It says I need a Fedora ID.
I go sign up for one, I am asked for a password, I input it twice when creating the
account.
I get an email that says: "here is your new password" and that I must click on
a link to use this second password to change my password.
Jesus why? I created one already, and then you sent me a new one to use.
So I go and try to change my password from the one the Fedora ID project gave me, and I
get a fucking error.
some of the characters I am using are lower case alpha letters
some of the characters I am using are upper case alpha letters
some of the characters I am using are numbers
some of the characters I am using are symbols like !
With this, I get a fucking error message that says the following.

Your password could not be changed.
Change Password
Passphrases need to be of a certain complexity to prevent attackers from guessing it by
having a computer try different combinations of characters in rapid succession. To make
such brute force attacks harder we enforce some minimum levels of strength:
A passphrase with symbols, upper and lowercase letters, and digits must be at least 9
characters
So is your password at least 9 characters?
