It looks for common passwords, names, popular English words, and common patterns like dates, repeats (aaa), sequences (abcd), and keyboard patterns (qwerty). zxcvbn allows many password styles so long as it detects sufficient complexity based on its algorithm. However, WP itself does not have specific requirements for pwds (see the other answer). It merely uses the zxcvbn library to determine strength. There is no required strength to create/update a user through WP alone (noting that plugins can change that).

Oops, it is checked on the client-side using zxcvbn.
