โœ… `MySecure123!` - Valid - โŒ `password123` - Missing uppercase and special char - โŒ `MySecure!` - Too short (less than 12 chars) ### Strong Strength (Normal + zxcvbn validation) - โœ… `MyUniqueP@ssw0rd2024` - Valid (zxcvbn score: 4/4) - โŒ `MyPassword123!` - Contains common word "Password" (zxcvbn score: 1/4) - โŒ `Qwerty123456!` - Keyboard pattern detected (zxcvbn score: 0/4) - โŒ `MySecure123123!` - Repeated sequence detected (zxcvbn score: 2/4) - โŒ `testuser123!` - Contains username "testuser" (zxcvbn score: 1/4) ## ๐Ÿงช **Testing** ### Demo Mode ```bash # Start demo application with zxcvbn python3 demo_mode.py # Access demo at http://localhost:5003 # Demo users: testuser/oldpassword123, admin/adminpass456, john/johnpass789 ``` ### API Endpoints - **POST** `/api/password-strength` - Real-time zxcvbn validation - **GET/POST** `/api/password-config` - Manage strength settings for all account types - **GET** `/health` - Application health check with zxcvbn status -
