This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Previously the installer accepted an empty password but failed to complete the installation. This happened due to an incorrect password check. Now the password is checked correctly and the user get's feedback about different problems such as password length. Additionally the installer only allows the user to carry on when a valid password is given.
