Simple Password Strength Checking Module

Edit Package pam_passwdqc

PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is a system security tool that
allows system administrators to set authentication policies without
having to recompile programs that do authentication.

pam_passwdqc is a simple password strength checking module forPAM-aware
password changing programs. In addition to checking regular passwords,
it offers support for passphrases and can provide randomly generated
ones.

- update to version 1.2.2
- When matching against the reversed new password, always pass the
  original non-reversed new password (possibly with a substring
  removed) into is_simple(), but remove or check the correct
  substring in is_based() considering that the matching is possibly
  being done against the reversed password.
- New command-line options for pwqcheck: -1 and -2 for reading just
  1 and just 2 lines from stdin, respectively (instead of reading 3
  lines, which is the default), --multi for checking multiple
  passphrases at once (until EOF).
- With randomly-generated passphrases, encode more entropy per
  separator character (by increasing the number of different
  separators from 8 to 16) and per word (by altering the case of
  the first letter of each word), which increases the default
  generated passphrase size from 42 to 47 bits.
- Substring matching has been enhanced to partially discount rather
  than fully remove weak substrings, support leetspeak, and detect
  some common sequences of characters (sequential digits, letters in
  alphabetical order, adjacent keys on a QWERTY keyboard).
- Detect and allow passphrases with non-ASCII characters in the words.
- A number of optimizations have been made resulting in significant
  speedup of passwdqc_check() on real-world passwords.
