16860	Provide hooks for password policy	Paul McMillan	nobody	"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)"	New feature	new	contrib.auth	1.3	Normal				Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
