Android Central Question

A few months ago for the first time I got an email from Google offering me to use their Google Account Security Checkup. It was genuine and from Google. But I have a concern to do with the security checkup. It said resolve two security issues or something like that and one of the issues was to " create a stronger password". I don't know why they would ask me this? I am aware that the Security Checkup does offer personalised recommendations. I never received any ' warning notifications ' emails telling me that my password was changed or any unauthorized logins or unsuccessful sign in attempts. I don't suspect my Google Account was hacked. But what do you think about it asking me to create a stronger password? Thanks. By the way my device is an android.
 
It was simply a suggestion. The suggestion was not based on any attempted hack of your account but simply because it's not really a strong password (Google would rather you NOT have your account compromised).
