As discussed with @JuliaKirschenheuter the warning when a password is weak is too long. In #35655 as an intermediary step the message is being displayed in a notification rather than a tooltip, but we discussed that going forward, we should shorten the warning and display it nearer to the password field. Currently it looks like:

Describe the solution you'd like
Show a concise message when the password entered is too weak. for eg:

Your password is weak. Make sure your password is 
* at least 4 characters long
* unique

Once this is done it can moved nearer to the password field.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Another option can be to validate password strength as they are being typed, as we have seen on many websites which have a password strength indicator which looks like a sectioned progress bar. This seems (to me) to be more technically complicated but it would cause the weak password notification to be seen less frequently as people will adjust their password before they submit it.
