JavaScript port of passwdqc. A password/passphrase strength checking and policy enforcement toolset.

About

The passwdqc is the brilliant password quality checker library made by Openwall. Passwdqc-js is a JavaScript port of passwdqc, made by Parallels. Passwdqc-js supports AMD and NodeJS/CommonJS module format. So it runs on both client and server.

Compatibilty with Passwdqc

Passwdqc-js was tested for compatibility with original passwdqc. We used following password databases in order to guarantee that both accept nearly the same subset of passwords:
14M unique RockYou passwords from 2009 leak (99.99% match with passwdqc)
10K random 10-character symbolic passwords (100% match with passwdqc)
10K random pass phrases, generated by passwdqc/pwqgen (100% match with passwdqc)

Usage

Use passwdqc.check(newpass, [oldpass], [login], [gecos], [params]) function to check password quality.

Parameters
newpass: password to check
oldpass: old password to check if new password is based on it
login: user's login name to check that password is not based on it
gecos: any other personal information to check
params: custom parameters for passwdqc algorithm, see

Return value
Empty string if password is considered good;
The reason why password is considered weak, otherwise.

Examples

NodeJS
var passwdqc = require('passwdqc');

var rv = passwdqc.check(password, old_password);

if (!rv) {
// Password is of good quality
// ...
} else {
// The "rv" now contains reason why password considered weak
}

Client-Side
// Declare security policy
var lowParams = { min: [6, 6, 6, 6, 6], max: 40, passphrase_words: 3, match_length: 4, similar_deny: 1, random_bits: 47, flags: 3, retry: 3 },
mediumParams = { min: [8, 8, 8, 7, 6], max: 40, passphrase_words: 3, match_length: 4, similar_deny: 1, random_bits: 47, flags: 3, retry: 3 };

// Checking value
function check(val){
if(val.length == 0) return 0;
if(!passwdqc_check(val)) return 4;
if(!passwdqc_check(val, undefined, undefined, undefined, mediumParams)) return 3;
if(!passwdqc_check(val, undefined, undefined, undefined, lowParams)) return 2;
return 1;
}
