Apple Suggests and Loses Strong Password on iMac

on my Imac I was forced to update pw and Mac kept suggesting a PW but i tried to choose my own. The parameters were too much for what i get from this site... we dont need fort knox level PW on EVERYTHING.!!!

anyway I decided to let apple put thier "strong password" in ........ well i now have to log back in using the new password and guess what.... THE NEW SUGGESTED STRONG PASSWORD WAS NOT SAVED BY THE MAC SO NOW I HAVE NO ACCESS TO THE SITE AT ALL AND HOLD TIME FOR A LIVE BODY IN A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY IS OVER 1 HOUR APPROX....!!!!!


if you are going to break something that is fine already then atleast save the suggested PW somewhere where it can be used in the site YOU suggested it!!!



sometimes Windows does it better...... by not doing anything
