While it is possible to change the validation for new passwords by
subclassing the form, I think that Django should provide a more friendly
interface for this. We should have a pluggable password authentication
framework which enforces no rules by default, but comes with several
reasonable example policies which may be enabled.
Problems to be solved include:
* Informing the user of the various password requirements
* Allowing policies to chain together smoothly
* Provide flexibility for complex requirements (some may include their
own models)
* Backwards compatibility
* Javascript validation assistance (someday, maybe?)
* HTML5 support (i.e. the pattern attribute)
* Prevent using email, username or other user attributes as (part of)
passwords
* Prevent reuse of old passwords

Comment (by shaib):
I replaced two requirements that seem to be applicable to login pages
(rate-limiting & lockout, captcha) with ones more applicable to password
setting (use of user attributes, old password reuse).
