Disabling weak password warning
I'm finding the weak password warning pretty useless as it's constantly flagging passwords as weak and easy to guess, which clearly are not. An example is "fgHrtw32". This is definitely not weak, nor easy to guess. Unfortunately, what this does is make me completely ignore the weak password feature because it's not accurate. Is there a way to disable this so it's at least not showing up?

Hi @dcarver!
That's a very short password, so I think that's why Watchtower is bringing it up to your attention. If you create longer passwords, and perhaps also with a symbol added to it, Watchtower will increase the grade of those passwords to something more than "weak" :+1:

Hm, I don't see how an 8-character, random letter and random number password warrants a big red warning banner. That's just simply not a weak password. Most websites don't have higher than an 8 character minimum on their password rule. Is there any way this feature can be shut off (even if it's a hidden terminal command or something)? If not, I'd like to suggest it as an option.

Just to add to this; some sites/systems hand out a password to you that cannot be reset (yes we can all question how smart that is but it happens). Some of those are short or fail the 1P "weak" vs "strong" password checks. It is very annoying to have that nagging nanny check - wish it could be turned off on a per sign-in case.
