Description

When sharing a file with a password and complex password requirement is not met, the error displayed is very generic and non-descriptive which is not very intuitive for the end user.

Could this be changed to show that the "password does not meet the complexity criteria"

Research direction

Search the Swift iOS code for file sharing with password protection and identify where the generic error is produced when password complexity validation fails. Update the displayed message to explain that the password does not meet the complexity criteria, then verify the sharing flow shows the more descriptive error.
