set up password change regularly with certain rules

[Soo-Hyun Choi]

My intention was to enforce a user not to use a simple character combination
(e.g., 1234, aaaa, etc) as his/her password. So it doesn't have to be that
much complex but still complex enough so that my server is safe from a
dictionary-like attack.
