hamedfathi / passwordmeter

This password meter is based on a point system. Its main goal is to help the end-user with a stronger password.

Hi there 👋, I'm Hamed Fathi

I've been programming for over ten years and have gained many software-making skills. I mainly use Microsoft's .NET ecosystem to build the software's behind-the-scenes parts and ensure I know its latest features. I also use JavaScript, TypeScript, and Angular to assemble the pieces of software that people interact with, helping to make them user-friendly. Apart from my development responsibilities, I also place significant importance on Quality Assurance (QA) and testing, which are integral to the software-making process. I sincerely hope you find value in using my open-source software regularly. Your engagement and feedback are very much appreciated, as they are crucial in helping continuous improvement and making sure the software meets our needs optimally.

"Yesterday, I was clever and wanted to change the world. Today, I am wise, so I am changing myself."

HamedStack is a GitHub organization specializing in projects built with C# and JavaScript/TypeScript. I established HamedStack as a platform to share code repositories, each designed to address various programming needs. The organization houses over 70 projects spanning multiple applications, from client-side to server-side solutions.

HamedStack is committed to being a valuable resource for the coding community. The projects are continuously updated to keep pace with the ever-changing software development landscape. I invite you to explore the repositories, contribute to the projects, and collaborate with others to create better software solutions for tomorrow.

passwordmeter's Issues

Import Errors

import { PasswordMeter } from "password-meter";

Could not find a declaration file for module 'password-meter'. '.../node_modules/password-meter/dist/index.es.mjs' implicitly has an 'any' type. There are types at '.../node_modules/password-meter/dist/index.d.ts', but this result could not be resolved when respecting package.json "exports". The 'password-meter' library may need to update its package.json or typings.ts(7016)

Customise Supported Symbols

Our use-case for implementing a password meter only has support for a limited subset of symbols (eg. not emoji). This leads to the meter recommending as strong passwords that will actually be rejected by our validation. We'd like to be able to specify our own list of symbols which would be used instead of "not letter/number" when testing required values and calculating a score.

An example of what we'd like to do:

new PasswordMeter({"symbols": "!"}).getResponse("@") == {"score": -1, "status": "needs requirement(s)"}

One possible way this could be implemented would be to make the following changes:
PasswordMeter - add a property with a regex to identify symbols

this.symbolsRegex = requirements.symbols || "[^a-zA-Z0-9]";

isSymbol - change this to test against the new regular expression:

pattern = new RegExp("^" + this.symbolsRegex + "$");
return pattern.test(text);

getRequirementScore - change this to use the new regular expression for symbolsCount:

var symbolsCount = (text.match(new RegExp(this.symbols, "g")) || []).length;

What does "percent" mean in getResult() ?

Hi,

Thanks for building this. Pretty neat stuff. Just wonder if you can shed some insight as what "Percent" means in the results

Exclude doesn't work for uppercase and lowercase

Hi,

I've tried to use exclude with some a value 'test'. When I enter the password 'Test', it doesn't detect the excluded value. Can you make a fix so that exclusion works for both lowercase and uppercase input values (ex. 'tEst')?

uniqueLettersMinLength - Require a certain amount of different letters in the password

Hi, this is a great component. However, I think it would profit from a uniqueLettersMinLength option, so that a password like aZ&4aZ&4 results in a score of 0, when uniqueLettersMinLength is set to 5.
