Description
Diceware passwords (e.g. https://diceware.dmuth.org/) which consist of a randomly created list of words provide good entropy AND are easier for humans to remember. When creating a new wallet the complexity requirement forces the user to add special symbols. This makes the password harder to remember if using Diceware passwords. Given an 8 random word list password has more entropy than a 'complex' password of only 8 characters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diceware), why not allow the user to use the password they want? Ie. popup a warning box or something but don't prevent the user from proceeding to create the wallet.
Thanks... :) Sorry, if I've posted anything wrong, is my 1st time.

Research direction
Start by locating the TypeScript wallet-creation flow and its password complexity validation. Check how password warnings and validation failures are presented, then define the completed behavior as allowing Diceware-style passwords while warning users about the reduced rule compliance without blocking wallet creation.
