GitLab log in issues still plaguing us :(

[JedMeister]

Despite thinking that we'd finally fixed the (ongoing) initial GitLab log in issues - it seems that even in the latest v18.1 release it's still an issue... :(

Marcos has provided some info, ideas & thoughts on the forums. Another user has also provided info on the workaround they used.

When we rebuild GitLab - #2007 - we should have another look at this too...

This issue is caused because of a password that does not meet the gitlab requirements is accepted by the gitlab inithook.

Requirements are outlined here:
