The idea behind this gem is that users' passwords must match a password strength respective to the sensitivity of the information on their account or the privileges available to the user. The strength of a password is determined using Dropbox's zxcvbn. The hope is that this idea would be an decent balance between usability and security.
i.e. Users should be required to register with a "higher" strength password if they are "administrators" compared to the "lower" password strength requirement for a "normal" user.
