  You can't validate existing passwords. You can force them to update to stronger passwords though. This existing thread of almost the same exact thread title as yours, may be of some use: Strong Password Strength - cPanel Forums Docs: Password Strength Configuration - cPanel Documentation

  I found another function called get_password_strength . It is possibile to compare values returned from get_password_strength and the other function posted by Micheal. It sure will work ! Thank you very much
