Not sure if serious. We need this. If you can guess someone else's password by accident, both of you need a password reset and that password needs to go on the denylist.

Modern advice for strong passwords is having a length requirement and checking the input against a list of known passwords, for example using the HIBP partial hash API. (Any time you see forced expiration or complexity requirements, you're dealing with a legacy/cargocult system.)
