# How to use

Add it to your requirements and get it with pip.

django-zxcvbn-password-validator

Then everything happens in your settings file.

Add `'django_zxcvbn_password_validator'` in the `INSTALLED_APPS` :

INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'django_zxcvbn_password_validator'
]

Modify `AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS` :

AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS = [
{
'NAME': 'django_zxcvbn_password_validator.ZxcvbnPasswordValidator',
},
...
]

You could choose to use zxcvbn alone, but I personally still use Django's `UserAttributeSimilarityValidator`,
because there seems to be still be some problem with it integrating user informations with zxcvbn (as of june 2018).

Finally you can set the `PASSWORD_MINIMAL_STRENGH` to your liking (default is 2),
every password scoring lower than this number will be rejected :

# 0 too guessable: risky password. (guesses < 10^3)
# 1 very guessable: protection from throttled online attacks. (guesses < 10^6)
# 2 somewhat guessable: protection from unthrottled online attacks. (guesses < 10^8)
# 3 safely unguessable: moderate protection from offline slow-hash scenario. (guesses < 10^10)
# 4 very unguessable: strong protection from offline slow-hash scenario. (guesses >= 10^10)
