NAME

6       Data::Password::zxcvbn::MatchList - a collection of matches for a
7       password
8

VERSION

10       version 1.1.2
11

SYNOPSIS

13         use Data::Password::zxcvbn::MatchList;
14
15         my $list = Data::Password::zxcvbn::MatchList->omnimatch($password)
16                     ->most_guessable_match_list;
17

DESCRIPTION

19       zxcvbn estimates the strength of a password by guessing which way a
20       generic password cracker would produce it, and then guessing after how
21       many tries it would produce it.
22
23       This class represents a list of guesses ("matches"), covering different
24       substrings of a password.
25

ATTRIBUTES

27   "password"
28       Required string, the password this list is about.
29
30   "matches"
31       Arrayref, the actual list of matches.
32
33   "guesses"
34       The estimated number of attempts that a generic password cracker would
35       need to guess the whole "password". This will be set for objects
36       returned by ""most_guessable_match_list"", not for those returned by
37       ""omnimatch"".
38

METHODS

40   "omnimatch"
41         my $match_list = Data::Password::zxcvbn::MatchList->omnimatch($password,\%opts);
42
43       Main constructor (the name comes from the original JS implementation).
44       Calls "->make($password,\%opts)" on all the
45       "Data::Password::zxcvbn::Match::*" classes (or the ones in
46       "@{$opts{modules}}"), combines all the matches, and returns a
47       "MatchList" holding them.
48
49   "most_guessable_match_list"
50         my $minimal_list = $match_list->most_guessable_match_list;
51
52       This method extracts, from the "matches" of the invocant, a list of
53       non-overlapping matches with minimum guesses. That list should
54       represent the way that a generic password cracker would guess the
55       "password", and as such is the one that the main function will use.
56
57   "guesses_log10"
58       The logarithm in base 10 of ""guesses"".
59
60   "score"
61         my $score = $match_list->score;
62
63       Returns an integer from 0-4 (useful for implementing a strength bar).
64       See "Data::Password::zxcvbn::TimeEstimate::guesses_to_score".
65
66   "get_feedback"
67         my %feedback = %{ $match_list->get_feedback };
68
69         my %feedback = %{ $match_list->get_feedback($max_score_for_feedback) };
70
71       If there's no matches, returns the result of
72       ""feedback_for_no_matches"".
73
74       If the match list "score" is above $max_score_for_feedback (default 2),
75       returns the result of ""feedback_above_threshold"".
76
77       Otherwise, collects all the feedback from the "matches", and returns
78       it, merged with the result of ""feedback_below_threshold"" (suggestions
79       are appended, but the warning from the matches takes precendence).
80
81   "feedback_for_no_matches"
82       Returns a feedback for when the password didn't match any of our
83       heuristics. It contains no warning, and some simple common suggestions.
84
85   "feedback_above_threshold"
86       Returns a feedback for when the password scored above the threshold
87       passed to ""get_feedback"" (i.e. the password is "good"). It's an empty
88       feedback.
89
90   "feedback_below_threshold"
91       Returns a feedback for when the password scored below the threshold
92       passed to ""get_feedback"" (i.e. the password is "bad"). It suggests to
93       add some words.
