zxcvbn
======

A realistic password strength estimator.

This is a Python implementation of the library created by the team at Dropbox.
The original library, written for JavaScript, can be found
`here <https://github.com/dropbox/zxcvbn>`__.

While there may be other Python ports available, this one is the most up
to date and is recommended by the original developers of zxcvbn at this
time.


Features
--------
- **Tested in Python versions 3.8-3.13**
- Accepts user data to be added to the dictionaries that are tested against (name, birthdate, etc)
- Gives a score to the password, from 0 (terrible) to 4 (great)
- Provides feedback on the password and ways to improve it
- Returns time estimates on how long it would take to guess the password in different situations

Installation
------------

Install the package using pip: ``pip install zxcvbn``

Usage
-----

Pass a password as the first parameter, and a list of user-provided
inputs as the ``user_inputs`` parameter (optional).

.. code:: python

    from zxcvbn import zxcvbn

    results = zxcvbn('JohnSmith123', user_inputs=['John', 'Smith'])

    print(results)

Output:

::

    {
        'password': 'JohnSmith123',
        'score': 2,
        'guesses': 2567800,

            'guesses_log10': 1.6989700043360185,
            'j': 3
        }, {
            'matched_word': 'smith123',
            'rank': 12789,
            'pattern': 'dictionary',
            'reversed': False,
            'token': 'Smith123',
            'l33t': False,
            'uppercase_variations': 2,
            'i': 4,
            'guesses': 25578,
            'l33t_variations': 1,
            'dictionary_name': 'passwords',
            'base_guesses': 12789,
            'guesses_log10': 4.407866583030775,
            'j': 11
        }],
    }

Another optional argument is ``max_length``, allowing override of the default max password length of 72.
.. code:: python

    from zxcvbn import zxcvbn

    results = zxcvbn('JohnSmith321', user_inputs=['John', 'Smith'], max_length=88)

.. warning::

   We strongly advise against setting ``max_length`` greater than 72,
   as it can lead to long processing times and may leave server-side applications open
   to denial-of-service scenarios.

Custom Ranked Dictionaries
--------------------------

In order to support more languages or just add password dictionaries of your own, there is a helper function you may use.

.. code:: python

    from zxcvbn.matching import add_frequency_lists

    add_frequency_lists({
        'my_list': ['foo', 'bar'],
        'another_list': ['baz']
    })

These lists will be added to the current ones, but you can also overwrite the current ones if you wish.
The lists you add should be in order of how common the word is used with the most common words appearing first.


CLI
~~~

You an also use zxcvbn from the command line::

    echo 'password' | zxcvbn --user-input <user-input> | jq

You can include a ``--max-length`` argument::
    echo '<long password>' | zxcvbn --max-length 142

You can also execute the zxcvbn module::

    echo 'password' | python -m zxcvbn --user-input <user-input> | jq
