Blogger's horrendous user experience

Wow, Blogger/Google didn't execute as well as they should have:

Try to sign in.
1) Requires Google Account, give it my google account and password, submit.
2) Says I need to give it my Google password, I do so (again), submit.
3) Says my password is weak, and I need to change it. I try my existing password and the indicator says its "strong", but when I try to save it, tells me I must use a different password.
4) Finally make a new password, but what did I just change? My google account or my blogger account? Guess I'll find out next time I try to access Gmail.

Man thats an awful lot of work to sign into an account you didn't forget....
