[8.x] Add ability to define default Password Rule

[crynobone]

This will make it easier to define a generic default password rules for login, register and password reset and useful for Laravel UI, Breeze, Jetstream and Nova.

Defining Rules

Typically on the App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider

use Illuminate\Validation\Rules\Password;

Password::defaultUsing(function() {
     return Password::min(8)->uncompromised();
});

Using the rules

E.g in Laravel Nova.

use Laravel\Nova\Fields\Password;
use Illuminate\Validation\Rules\Password as PasswordRule;

Password::make('Password', 'password')->rules(PasswordRule::default());

Also, you can use:

Password::required(); // return ['required', Password::min(8)->uncompromised()];

Password::sometimes(); // return ['sometimes', Password::min(8)->uncompromised()];

Would be cool if you could do:

Password::default()->required();

Or even:

Password::required()

Which will apply the default by default 😅

Password::required()

I really liking this, Password::required() for login and reset password, Password::sometimes() for change password.

So, if you use Password::required, I guess you are supposed to do something like this when building your validation rules?

'name' => ['required', 'string'],
'password' => [...Password::required(), 'foo', 'bar'],

[crynobone]

@taylorotwell yes, that's the plan with returning it as array.

Was tempting to do the following, but not sure if it's wise

public static function __callStatic($method, $parameters)
{
    return [$method, static::default()];
}

Hi, did you just forget confirmed rule?

Hi, did you just forget confirmed rule?

Intentionally leave it out, you can do [...Password::required(), 'confirmed'] for specific use case.
