This forced password change...

There wasn't a forced password change for me when I upgraded. Old password (that doesn't meet new requirements) worked post firmware upgrade. Didn't get confronted with the new password requirements until I looked at the change password option in the GUI and after I performed a hard factory reset and got the notice during the QIS setup process.

There's no forced change. Existing passwords are still working.

This is true unless you factory reset. Then there seems to be no way to go back to your old password.
