For integration with other applications, this function can be overwritten to instead use the other package password checking algorithm.
Please note: This function should be used sparingly and is really only meant for single-time application. Leveraging this improperly in a plugin or theme could result in an endless loop of password resets if precautions are not taken to ensure it does not execute on every page load.
