Remarks
Activity action: have the user enter a new password.
For admin apps, this activity should be launched after using #setPasswordQuality(ComponentName, int), or #setPasswordMinimumLength(ComponentName, int) to have the user enter a new password that meets the current requirements. You can use #isActivePasswordSufficient() to determine whether you need to have the user select a new password in order to meet the current constraints. Upon being resumed from this activity, you can check the new password characteristics to see if they are sufficient.
Non-admin apps can use #getPasswordComplexity() to check the current screen lock complexity, and use this activity with extra #EXTRA_PASSWORD_COMPLEXITY to suggest to users how complex the app wants the new screen lock to be. Note that both #getPasswordComplexity() and the extra #EXTRA_PASSWORD_COMPLEXITY require the calling app to have the permission permission#REQUEST_PASSWORD_COMPLEXITY.
If the intent is launched from within a managed profile with a profile owner built against android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#M or before, this will trigger entering a new password for the parent of the profile. For all other cases it will trigger entering a new password for the user or profile it is launched from.
