Weak Wi-Fi password not allowed!

[StuartBirkbeck]

So I have moved from Sky to Vodafone.  I have received a new  Power Hub router.   As I have about 30 smart devices I was hoping to use the same SSID/pw as on the old router in order not to have to change each device 

now I find that Vodafone has made the minimum Wi-Fi password length to be 12.   My password is 10 long but meets the other requirements 

has anyone found a way round this otherwise Vodafone will be ditched before we get off the start line!

@StuartBirkbeck This has been discussed previously. You can't change it on the router and in my opinion you shouldn't. It's like that for security and it's only likely to be even longer even with the newest WPA3.
