 WordPress 4.3 added [https://github.com/dropbox/zxcvbn zxcvbn] for better
 password strength testing.

 The UI was also modified to push users to set strong passwords in various
 ways.

 * When setting a password, a strong one is generated for the user.
 * A user must check off an "Are You Sure?" checkbox to set a weak
 password.

 This is great. However, an "Are You Sure" checkbox is what stands between
 an easily hackable WordPress site and an exponentially stronger WordPress
 site.

 I would like to force users to set strong passwords in the UI.
