[github.com/dropbox/zxcvbn](https://github.com/dropbox/zxcvbn#usage)):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* score 0: too guessable: risky password (guesses < 10^3)
|
|
|
|
|
* score 1: very guessable: protection from throttled online attacks (guesses < 10^6)
|
|
|
|
|
* score 2: somewhat guessable: protection from unthrottled online attacks. (guesses < 10^8)
|
|
|
|
|
* score 3: safely unguessable: moderate protection from offline slow-hash scenario. (guesses < 10^10)
|
|
|
|
|
* score 4: very unguessable: strong protection from offline slow-hash scenario. (guesses >= 10^10)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We do not allow score 0, if you set the `min_score` value to 0 instead the default will be used instead.
