I would like that I could set some policy issues set within password module:
- Min and Max length of the password. default value min(6) max(32)
- Wheter empty passwords are allowed. default value no

Feature requests:
- As one can get users' old password quite easily then, then check
wheter this is users login password within password module. This allows
error message to be printed within password module and therefore
it can be localized.
- As you can get users' old password easily then check the this old
password against new password within passwd module. This allow error
message to be printed within password module and therefore it can be
localized.
