The password strengths (measured by the ZXCVBN algorithm) are as follows. The default minimum is 3:
0 - too guessable: risky password. (guesses less than 10 power 3)
1 - very guessable: protection from throttled online attacks. (guesses less than 10 power 6)
2 - somewhat guessable: protection from unthrottled online attacks. (guesses less than 10 power 8)
3 - safely unguessable: moderate protection from offline slow-hash scenario. (guesses less than 10 power 10)
4 - very unguessable: strong protection from offline slow-hash scenario. (guesses greater than 10 power 10)
