My provider generated the secret key, so why does the strength meter call it weak?
Short answer: Provider-generated secrets are long and random and score strong, so a weak score usually means only part was pasted or a space crept in. Paste the full secret again and the meter should turn green.
Check you've pasted the whole secret. Provider-generated secret keys are long and random, so they score as strong; a low score almost always means only part of it was copied, or a space or line break crept in.
Copy the secret again from your password manager or provider, paste it fresh, and the meter should go green. When you edit an existing account and leave the secret unchanged, the meter doesn't judge it at all.
