Unattended password requirement problem
Hello,
I'm trying to set up unattended access to a new computer at our company. We use the same password for all these machines so we can easily access them in our contact list, however suddenly the standard password we use doesn't fulfill the password requirements on new installations.
It's above 8 characters, it has a special character(exclamation point), it has a number, as well as capital and lower letters. It shows up as "Weak" in the bar. Adding any other character changes it to "Acceptable". So it must be length based, however documentation from Teamviewer says 8 is sufficient? (https://community.teamviewer.com/English/kb/articles/109268-personal-password)
I checked the changelog, but no mention of any changes to password policy here..
What gives?

Indeed, the password requirements have changed.
