Hi @torhoehn,

Thanks for your reporting and collaboration.

As per the Magento devdocs https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/commerce-operations/installation-guide/tutorials/admin The password must be at least 7 characters in length and must include at least one alphabetic and at least one numeric character

Hence we are considering this as a improvement to proceed further marking this as Feature Request.

Thanks.
