Password Requirements

It's no secret that I am adamant about passwords, specifically in avoiding them and finding other solutions such as "sign in with...", SMS verify and email magic links.

In the meantime, while that bridge is being built, passwords remain a barrier to entry so I want to make that as painless as possible. There are a lot of arbitrary password requirements (which have been proven to provide no additional security https://xkcd.com/936 )
I came up with a prototype of a password hierarchy. Instead of displaying the password requirements in full paragraph text, the idea is presenting the highest one, and when that condition has been met, more than likely other requirements will be met.

Still working some things out with this.
