Expected behavior

For it to save and apply

Change the password to a simpler one

Update:

Turns out that it's not just complex passwords it has an issue with. It refuses to accept any password. I had to enable 2fa and create and app password, only THEN did it start sending reports. Password before this was just a string of upper and lower case characters, to avoid the bug above.
