Comment (by desrosj):

 Related: #40046.

 I'm not sure if a filter to control the password length as suggested in
 #40046 should be added as it would allow sites to promote poor password
 techniques. If it is added, then this suggested test should also detect
 when the length argument is filtered to a potentially insecure number of
 characters.
