At the moment, RequireStrongPassword uses a minimum password length (of only 3
characters or the sysperf minPasswordLength) and a static regular expression.

Here are a number of improvements:

1. A minimum length of 10 characters that can't be lowered via
minPasswordLength

2. Should contain 3 of the following 4 sets (lowercase, uppercase, numbers,
special characters)

3. Not be the same as a previously set password

4. Should not include dictionary words or common passwords
(This could be challenging to do comprehensively on low spec systems, although
one variation of this could be to add a customizable list of passwords to
exclude.)

5. Should not be equal to the username
