When logging into the newly updated MyFreeola I see a warning notification about my password strength:

Important Information
Your password, used to log in to My Freeola, our online ordering system and our interactive services such as cheats and walkthroughs, is a little on the weak side.
Please update it to something more secure.


Following the link to change the password the "New Password" field is already completed ('blobed' out). I think that should be blank?

If I start to change my password by using the current one which is a mix of letters, numerals and special characters the page shows this as a "STRONG" password.

I'm wondering why the system thinks it's strong here but also suggests it needs strengthening?

Interestingly on another Freeola account which is shorter and only uses letters (no numbers or special characters) I don't see the warning?!

Rather than raise a Support Ticket I thought I would try a forum post :¬)

Hi,

Sorry about that! You can ignore it for now, it looks like a small update went live when it shouldn't have done.
The bit to update your password is the old/current page and doesn't have autocomplete turned off on the password fields so the browser may pre-fill it.
