This is a goLang port of python-zxcvbn and [zxcvbn](https://github.com/dropbox/zxcvbn), which are python and JavaScript password strength
|
||
|
|
generators. zxcvbn attempts to give sound password advice through pattern
|
||
|
|
matching and conservative entropy calculations. It finds 10k common passwords,
|
||
|
|
common American names and surnames, common English words, and common patterns
|
||
|
|
like dates, repeats (aaa), sequences (abcd), and QWERTY patterns.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please refer to https://dropbox.tech/security/zxcvbn-realistic-password-strength-estimation for the full details and
|
||
|
|
motivation behind zxcbvn. The source code for the original JavaScript (well,
|
||
|
|
actually CoffeeScript) implementation can be found at:

The zxcvbn module has the public method PasswordStrength() function. Import zxcvbn, and
|
||
|
|
call PasswordStrength(password string, userInputs []string). The function will return a
|
||
|
|
result dictionary with the following keys:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Entropy # bits
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CrackTime # estimation of actual crack time, in seconds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CrackTimeDisplay # same crack time, as a friendlier string:
|
||
|
|
# "instant", "6 minutes", "centuries", etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Score # [0,1,2,3,4] if crack time is less than
|
||
|
|
# [10^2, 10^4, 10^6, 10^8, Infinity].
|
||
|
|
# (useful for implementing a strength bar.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MatchSequence # the list of patterns that zxcvbn based the
|
||
|
|
# entropy calculation on.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CalcTime # how long it took to calculate an answer,
|
||
|
|
# in milliseconds. usually only a few ms.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The userInputs argument is an splice of strings that zxcvbn
|
||
|
|
will add to its internal dictionary. This can be whatever list of
|
||
|
|
strings you like, but is meant for user inputs from other fields of the
|
||
|
|
form, like name and email. That way a password that includes the user's
|
||
|
|
personal info can be heavily penalized. This list is also good for
|
||
|
|
site-specific vocabulary.
