As shown on the blog, we can think of having even a prohibitive repetition for the previous X passwords already used, or even the same password cannot be adopted for some time.

One quick topic that I had on my mind while reading the blog was that, can the password generator somewhat interact with the Password Validation Plugin if it’s set up to generate passwords not only based on length (enerated_random_password_length)?

The mentioned plugin can give a password weak or strong, even given it more muscles based on how you validate a password. If we think that a password will be generated so that the plugin accepts it, user creation will be easier.

Making sense or not, this is what I got reading further the manual:

If the validate_password component is installed, the policy that it implements does not affect generated passwords. (The purpose of password validation is to help humans create better passwords.)

By the way, congrats, Sri!
