 * Hi WordPress team,
 * I have a password issue in the user’s profile area.
    when a user tries to change
   his password to 2 characters long it still saves.
 * And you place there:
 * > Hint: The password should be at least seven characters long. To make it stronger,
   > use upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols like ! ” ? $ % ^ & ).
 * I’m just wondering. I hope you’ll resolve this issue.
 * Thanks.

 * I believe that’s expected behaviour.
 * The hint is a recommendation to steer people in the right direction, but not 
   a hard requirement.
