Description
Our current password validation rule only enforces minimum length. It does not require users to set a stronger password by requiring at least one lower case, one upper case, one number, and an alphanumeric character in the password.
On the marketing site, we enforce this requirement for users creating a new account and we would love this to be implemented on the application for when a user is signing up via the/register route, resetting their password, and updating their password.
See the current implementation here:

Research direction
Start with the password validation implementation in lib/lightning/accounts/user.ex around line 194. Trace how it is used by the /register route, password reset, and password update flows. Done means all three flows enforce the stated lowercase, uppercase, number, and alphanumeric requirements.
