You can't validate existing passwords. You can force them to update to stronger passwords though.

This existing thread of almost the same exact thread title as yours, may be of some use:

I am registering new users i don't want to force existing passwords. The user compile my form and i want to validate before saving in my database. After i use these record for create an account in cpanel using API. So before save the password in my database i want to know if the password is good for cpanel

Hello,

I believe you are looking for the following cPanel API 2 function:

cPanel API 2 Functions - PasswdStrength::get_required_strength

Thank you.

It seems that this function return the required password strenght for an application (like ftp in the example).
i need to know if mypassword is good for the application.
for example i have minum required level 50 per ftp passwords.
my user choose a password and i want check if is 50 or more

I found another function called get_password_strength . It is possibile to compare values returned from get_password_strength and the other function posted by Micheal. It sure will work !
Thank you very much
