I know it's very fun to dunk on China these days, but I'd recommend that everyone take a step back for a second... As has already been stated, multipled people have tried what she did (myself included; just tried with a spare SIM)and we have not had our accounts banned. WeChat also has little reason to ban someone a private password because that can hardly be considered a communications risk (it's not like her password is being publicly posted for everyone to read). It seems much more likely that her account was closed for reasons outside of this password change.
