Description

I like the password policy of stanford university:
https://uit.stanford.edu/service/accounts/passwords/quickguide

The good thing is that they show everybody how to create a secure password. Mostly you must come up with new passwords (or change them) when you don't have time to figure out good new password or you don't even know what is secure.

Either put a question mark to the password field with more information or link to a reference in the documentation.

Research direction

Start by locating the password field and the existing password-policy documentation, then review the Stanford quick guide linked in the issue. Done means users can reach guidance on creating secure passwords either from the password field or from the project documentation.
