 **isStrongPassword(str [, options])**   | check if the string can be considered a strong password or not. Allows for custom requirements or scoring rules. If `returnScore` is true, then the function returns an integer score for the password rather than a boolean.<br/>Default options: <br/>`{ minLength: 8, minLowercase: 1, minUppercase: 1, minNumbers: 1, minSymbols: 1, returnScore: false, pointsPerUnique: 1, pointsPerRepeat: 0.5, pointsForContainingLower: 10, pointsForContainingUpper: 10, pointsForContainingNumber: 10, pointsForContainingSymbol: 10 }`
 **isTime(str [, options])**             | check if the string is a valid time e.g. [`23:01:59`, new Date().toLocaleTimeString()].<br/><br/> `options` is an object which can contain the keys `hourFormat` or `mode`.<br/><br/>`hourFormat` is a key and defaults to `'hour24'`.<br/><br/>`mode` is a key and defaults to `'default'`. <br/><br/>`hourFormat` can contain the values `'hour12'` or `'hour24'`, `'hour24'` will validate hours in 24 format and `'hour12'` will validate hours in 12 format. <br/><br/>`mode` can contain the values `'default'` or `'withSeconds'`, `'default'` will validate `HH:MM` format, `'withSeconds'` will validate the `HH:MM:SS` format.
 **isTaxID(str, locale)**                | check if the string is a valid Tax Identification Number. Default locale is `en-US`.<br/><br/>More info about exact TIN support can be found in `src/lib/isTaxID.js`.<br/><br/>Supported locales: `[ 'bg-BG', 'cs-CZ', 'de-AT', 'de-DE', 'dk-DK', 'el-CY', 'el-GR', 'en-CA', 'en-GB', 'en-IE', 'en-US', 'es-AR', 'es-ES', 'et-EE', 'fi-FI', 'fr-BE', 'fr-CA', 'fr-FR', 'fr-LU', 'hr-HR', 'hu-HU', 'it-IT', 'lb-LU', 'lt-LT', 'lv-LV', 'mt-MT', 'nl-BE', 'nl-NL', 'pl-PL', 'pt-BR', 'pt-PT', 'ro-RO', 'sk-SK', 'sl-SI', 'sv-SE', 'uk-UA']`.
