Windows 10: Request to change my account password to the previous one, or change the user-set password...

Dear Microsoft Support Team,I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to express my sincere concern regarding the recent mandatory password change for my Microsoft account. For the past decade, I have used a seven-character password without any issues. However, during the process of reinstalling Windows 10, I was forced to create a new password that must meet the criteria of being longer than eight characters and including a combination of letters and numbers. I understand that this is done for the sake of data security, but I wish to convey my circumstances and request your understanding

:)
