Description

Estimates password strength with the zxcvbn model, which considers patterns, names, dates, dictionaries, and common password habits. It helps applications give users better feedback than simple length-only rules.

Developers use it in account and authentication flows. Password checks should run without logging the password, and they complement but do not replace hashing, rate limits, and multi-factor authentication.
