Get rid of asinine app password requirements
Its super frustrating to deal with app bugs, and having to reinstall apps to fix them. Even more frustrating when you can’t use the same password your used to because of some new asinine password reqs. Some (but not all) even let you reset the password in-app bypassing the reqs, so what is even the point. A capital letter and special character isn’t gonna add any extra security beyond what any non-randomized password can give you. Please, remove it.

Im familiar with password managers thanks. What I'm saying is, why have these app password requirements in the Control Panel, but there aren't the same requirements if I install the same app via ssh. Or if you go into the individual app settings and change it's password there. It's not uniform, and doesn't make sense.

As stated in our Terms of Service, all applications must be secured with authentication.
“All user resources must be configured with authentication. This includes any applications and prohibits the use of open directories.“
The UCP is where the majority of our clients install their applications, and that is why we enforce password authentication. Password can also be set when installing an application via SSH, e.g
app-appname install -p ‘my-very-strong-password‘
