Summary : A password/passphrase strength checking and policy enforcement toolset
URL : https://www.openwall.com/passwdqc/
License : BSD-3-Clause
Description : passwdqc is a password/passphrase strength checking and policy
: enforcement toolset, including a PAM module (pam_passwdqc), command-line
: programs (pwqcheck, pwqfilter, and pwqgen), and a library (libpasswdqc).
:
: pam_passwdqc is normally invoked on password changes by programs such as
: passwd(1). It is capable of checking password or passphrase strength,
: enforcing a policy, and offering randomly-generated passphrases, with
: all of these features being optional and easily (re-)configurable.
:
: pwqcheck and pwqgen are standalone password/passphrase strength checking
: and random passphrase generator programs, respectively, which are usable
: from scripts.
:
: The pwqfilter program searches, creates, or updates binary passphrase
: filter files, which can also be used with pwqcheck and pam_passwdqc.
:
: libpasswdqc is the underlying library, which may also be used from
: third-party programs.
