Operator decision — 12 was too long; 6 is acceptable and password strength is the user's
own responsibility. Changed Password::min(12) → min(6) in every place that validates a
password (password change, forgot/reset, settings profile, create-user) and updated the
visible hints (de + en). The upper/lowercase + digit complexity is unchanged — only the
minimum length was flagged.
Verified: a 6-char complex password ("Abc123") now validates; too-short and complexity-less
passwords still reject; the password page shows "min. 6"; full suite 467 pass.
