#1963 issue : Added more requirements for password

Key Features:
Password Configuration:

The PasswordConfig struct allows customization of the password validation requirements. This can be extended to include more complex policies as needed.
YAML Configuration:

The PasswordConfig struct could be loaded from a YAML file, enabling dynamic adjustment of the password requirements without code changes.
Password Validation:

The ValidatePassword function checks the length, presence of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and special characters based on the provided configuration.
Sidecar Feature:

A placeholder sidecarLogPasswordValidation function is included, where you could integrate with a logging service to track password validation attempts.
