A.) By default WordPress allows short passwords but “Confirm use of weak password” must be checked.

B.) Disable security plugins or change their settings if possible as they can and do override whatever WordPress implements by default.

C.) The latest consensus about passwords suggests the strongest passwords are extra long easy to remember phrases like: !-visited-!600-w-pennsylvan!a-avenue
