< p > Kanidm embeds a set of tools to help your users use and create strong passwords.
This is important as not all user types will require multi-factor authentication (MFA)
for their roles, but compromised accounts still pose a risk. There may also be deployment
or other barriers to a site rolling out sitewide MFA.< / p >

< p > Kanidm enforces that all passwords are checked by the library " < a href = "https://github.com/dropbox/zxcvbn" > zxcvbn< / a > " .
This has a large number of checks for password quality. It also provides constructive feedback to users on how
to improve their passwords if they are rejected.< / p >
< p > Some things that zxcvbn looks for is use of the account name or email in the password, common passwords,
low entropy passwords, dates, reverse words and more.< / p >
2022-05-01 06:11:32 +02:00
< p > This library can not be disabled - all passwords in Kanidm must pass this check.< / p >

< p > This is the process of configuring a list of passwords to exclude from being able to be used.
This is especially useful if a specific business has been notified of a compromised account, allowing
you to maintain a list of customised excluded passwords.< / p >
< p > The other value to this feature is being able to badlist common passwords that zxcvbn does not detect, or
from other large scale password compromises.< / p >
< p > By default we ship with a preconfigured badlist that is updated over time as new password breach lists are
made available.< / p >

< p > You can update your own badlist by using the provided < code > kanidm_badlist_preprocess< / code > tool which helps to automate this process.< / p >
< p > Given a list of passwords in a text file, it will generate a modification set which can be applied.
The tool also provides the command you need to run to apply this:< / p >
