Why does WHM / cPanel keep saying my password is weak and must be 65 strength at least?

I've been trying to create my very first account on https://trycpanel.net/wwwacctform.html, but I've faced a weird error.
Basically, I want to set a password for my account. But, it keeps saying it's weak and must be at least 65 strength. Even though, I used auto-generate password and wrote a really strong one by myself, but nothing seems to work. All I get is this error: https://i.stack.imgur.com/DS0df.png

Here is some methods I used, but none of them worked:

Used another browsers (Chrome, Opera, Firefox)
Refreshed the page
Rebooted my machine (Windows 10)

Any ideas why is this happening? Error code: AJAX Error: Try Again
Thanks in advance.

I also tried disabling the strength limit in the security settings, but it refuses my order and throw this error:

This is most likely an issue to do with the password strength configuration.

You can change the configuration in:

Security-> Security Center -> Password Strength Configuration.

Thanks for your reply, @KIVOX. Unfortunately, I also tried that, but now I see this error when I want to set the password strength to 0. (I updated my, the error is included there).

@LiquiKal I believe this is on purpose as `trycpanel` is just a preview of the WHM/cPanel platform.

True, the website starts with `try`. Well, do you know other way how to certificate my domain to use it in Telegram?

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

EN: Why does WHM / cPanel keep saying my password is weak and must be 65 strength at least?

TH: เหตุใด WHM / cPanel จึงพูดว่ารหัสผ่านของฉันอ่อนแอและต้องมีความแข็งแกร่ง 65 เป็นอย่างน้อย

RO: De ce WHM / cPanel tot spune că parola mea este slabă și trebuie să aibă cel puțin 65 de putere?

RU: Почему WHM / cPanel продолжает говорить, что мой пароль слабый и должен быть не менее 65?

VI: Tại sao WHM/cPanel cứ nói mật khẩu của tôi yếu và ít nhất phải có độ mạnh 65?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
