Password Input Format Defines what characters are allowed to be including in the password. If the password entered does cannot be matched using the Regular Expression specified here then the password is state is set to invalid and the appropriate message is displayed. The default setting allows almost all type-able characters to be included in the password.
E.g. Using the regular expression "[a-zA-Z0-9]*" will only allow alpha-numeric passwords. Any other character such as "!" would cause the password to be marked as invalid

Password Strength Weighting The value set in this attribute is used to calculate the strength of the password. The higher the value, the least number of characters and range of characters is needed for the password to be deemed "strong". Decreasing the value will require the input of longer more complex passwords before they are deemed "strong".
