Repeated Characters Password Validator

The Repeated Characters Password Validator is used to determine whether a proposed password is acceptable based on the number of times any character appears consecutively in a password value.

It ensures that user passwords do not contain strings of the same character repeated several times, like "aaaaaa" or "aaabbb".

Parent
