@mittwald/password-tools-js

A JS library to implement policy-driven password validation and generation

Installation

Yarn

yarn add @mittwald/password-tools-js

NPM

npm install @mittwald/password-tools-js

Usage

Validate Passwords

Example:

import { Policy } from "@mittwald/password-tools-js";

const policy = await Policy.fromDeclarationRemote("https://api.mittwald.de/v2/password/policies/", "examplePolicy");
const result = policy.validate("password#");

or

import { Policy, RemotePolicyLoader } from "@mittwald/password-tools-js";

const remotePolicyLoader = new RemotePolicyLoader("https://api.mittwald.de/v2/password/policies/");
const policyDeclaration = await remotePolicyLoader.loadPolicy("examplePolicy");
const policy = Policy.fromDeclaration(policyDeclaration);

const result = policy.validate("password#");

Generate password/passphrase

from a policy:

const policy = await Policy.fromDeclarationRemote("https://api.mittwald.de/v2/password/policies/", "examplePolicy");
const generator = new Generator(policy);

const password = await generator.generatePassword();
const passphrase = await generator.generatePassphrase();

or without a policy:

const password = Generator.generateAnyPassword();
const passphrase = Generator.generateAnyPassphrase();
