This plugin adds a security layer by preventing users with significant permissions from setting weak passwords. It is designed for site administrators who need to enforce password policies for authors, editors, and other privileged accounts.

Targeted Enforcement: Checks for specific user capabilities, such as publish_posts or upload_files, to apply the strong password requirement only to accounts with elevated access.
Server-Side Validation: While it uses the site's existing client-side password strength meter, it performs a final check on the server to block weak passwords from being saved.
Customizable Rules: Administrators can use filters to modify which capabilities trigger enforcement, change the error message, or adjust which user roles are exempt during initial account creation.
Broad Coverage: The requirement applies across key areas, including the user profile editor and the password reset form.
Integration with Core: Leverages the modern zxcvbn library built into the platform for accurate password strength estimation.
