See the pwquality.h header file for the API. + +There are simple tools that use the libpwquality: + + pwscore - reads the password to be checked from the standard input + Optional argument is an user name for additional checks. + + pwmake - generates a random password + Required argument is number of bits of entropy used to + generate the password. + +The pwquality Python wrapper module can be used to call the libpwquality +functionality from Python. + +And finally there is pam_pwquality Linux PAM module that can be used +instead of pam_cracklib to disallow weak new passwords when user's login +password is changed. |
