+ determines whether a proposed password is acceptable by measuring
+ how similar it is to the user's current password. In particular,
+ it uses the Levenshtein Distance algorithm to determine the
+ minimum number of changes (where a change may be inserting,

+ the other. It can be used to prevent users from making only minor

+ Therefore, if this password validator is to be enabled, the
+ password-change-requires-current-password attribute in the
