I tried it with a new password today. The requirements were between 8 an 32 characters and some special characters allowed.

I just tried with all lower case letters and it rejected it. Prior to changing my password however, I experienced everything you described. They must have 2 systems and setting a new password must switch you to the new system. Can't fathom why they don't just mandate everyone changing their passwords.

Yup this appears to be it. I just changed my password and can now use a longer password with special chars (no spaces though).
