A collection of django password validators.

## Compatibility

- Python: **3.8**, **3.9**, **3.10**, **3.11**, **3.12**
- Django: **4.2**, **5.0**

## Installation

```
pip install django-pwned
```

For translations to work, add `django_pwned` to `INSTALLED_APPS`.

## TL;DR:

```python
AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS = [
    {"NAME": "django.contrib.auth.password_validation.UserAttributeSimilarityValidator"},
    {"NAME": "django_pwned.validators.GitHubLikePasswordValidator"},
    {"NAME": "django_pwned.validators.MinimumUniqueCharactersPasswordValidator"},
    {"NAME": "django_pwned.validators.PwnedPasswordValidator"},
]
```

## Validators

### PwnedPasswordValidator(request_timeout=1.5, count_threshold=1)

This validator uses the [Pwned Passwords API] to check for compromised passwords.

Internally, this validator checks password with django's
`CommonPasswordValidator` and if password was not in django's list,
uses Pwned API to check password. So you can remove `CommonPasswordValidator`
if you're using this validator.

```python
AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS = [
    # ...
    # {"NAME": "django.contrib.auth.password_validation.CommonPasswordValidator"},
    {"NAME": "django_pwned.validators.PwnedPasswordValidator"},
    # ...
]
```

You can set the API request timeout with the `request_timeout` parameter (in seconds).

You can set the `count_threshold` to reject a password if it appears at least
a certain number of times in the Pwned Passwords data set.
By default, this threshold is set to `1`.
For instance, setting `count_threshold=2` means the password will be rejected
if it appears in the data set at least twice.

Example configuration:

```python
AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS = [
    # ...
    {
      "NAME": "django_pwned.validators.PwnedPasswordValidator",
      "OPTIONS": {
        "request_timeout": 2,
        "count_threshold": 5,
      },
    },
    # ...
]
```

If for any reason (connection issues, timeout, ...) the request to Pwned API fails,
this validator skips checking password and logs a message.

### GitHubLikePasswordValidator(min_length=8, safe_length=15)

Validates whether the password is at least:

- 8 characters long, if it includes a number and a lowercase letter, or
- 15 characters long with any combination of characters

Based on GitHub's documentation about [creating a strong password].

You may want to disable Django's `NumericPasswordValidator`
and `MinimumLengthValidator` if you want to use
`GitHubLikePasswordValidator`.

The minimum number of characters can be customized with the `min_length`
parameter. The length at which we remove the restriction about
requiring both number and lowercase letter can be customized with the
`safe_length` parameter.

### MinimumUniqueCharactersPasswordValidator(min_unique_characters=4)

Validates whether the password contains at least 4 unique characters.
For example `aaaaaaaaaabbbbbbccc` is an invalid password, but `aAbB` is a valid password.

The minimum number of unique characters can be customized with the
`min_unique_characters` parameter.

## Development

- Create and activate a python virtualenv.
- Install development dependencies in your virtualenv: `pip install -e '.[dev]'`
- Install pre-commit hooks: `pre-commit install`
- Run tests with coverage: `py.test --cov`
