Unpwn

A gem to help you make sure that passwords are good, and not likely to be guessed or hacked, as suggested by NIST SP-800-63B.

Unpwn checks passwords locally against the top one million passwords, as provided by the nbp project. Then, it uses the haveibeenpwned API to check proposed passwords against the largest corpus of publicly dumped passwords in the world.

Inspired by @codahale's passpol, and uses prior work from nbp and devise-pwned_password.

Installation

Add unpwn to your Gemfile:

gem "unpwn", "~> 1.0"

Usage

# Default length requirement is 8 characters minimum, no maximum

# Min and max can be set manually, but only as low as 8 and 64 respectively.
Unpwn.new(min: 10, max: 64).acceptable?("visit raven follow disk") # => true
