You use `strong_password` rule for password validation explained above.

> **Note**
> The `strong_password` rule only supports use cases to check the user's own password.
> It fetches the authenticated user's data for **NothingPersonalValidator**
> if the visitor is authenticated.
>
> If you want to have use cases that set and check another user's password,
> you can't use `strong_password`. You need to use `service('passwords')` directly
> to check the password.
>
> But remember, it is not good practice to set passwords for other users.
> This is because the password should be known only by that user.
