We are trying to make passwords on LEDE a tiny bit more secure by refusing weak

Please see related discussion over here, where the inconsistencies were

Note that busybox does not just enforce length. It evaluates the pw complexity based on several rules and e.g. the actual allowed minimum length would vary between 6-14 depending e.g. on the mix of character types (A, a, 1, #) used in the pw.

So the change is not quite trivial about just length.
