devise_zxcvbn
Plugin for devise to reject weak passwords, using zxcvbn-rb which is a ruby port of zxcvbn: realistic password strength estimation.
The user's password will be rejected if the score is below 4 by default. It also uses the email as user input to zxcvbn, to reject passwords containing parts of the email (if using zxcvbn.js on the frontend you should also do this to get the same score).
The scores 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 are given when the estimated crack time (seconds) is less than 10**2, 10**4, 10**6, 10**8, Infinity.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'devise_zxcvbn'Configuration
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
devise :zxcvbnable
# Optionally add more weak words to check against:
def weak_words
['mysitename', self.name, self.username]
end
endAvailable methods for devise resources
class User < ApplicationRecord
devise :zxcvbnable
end
user = User.new.tap do |user|
user.email = "example@example.com"
user.password = "123456789"
end
user.password_score => #<OpenStruct password="123456789", guesses=6, guesses_log10=0.7781512503836435, sequence=[{"pattern"=>"dictionary", "i"=>0, "j"=>8, "token"=>"123456789", "matched_word"=>"123456789", "rank"=>5, "dictionary_name"=>"passwords", "reversed"=>false, "l33t"=>false, "base_guesses"=>5, "uppercase_variations"=>1, "l33t_variations"=>1, "guesses"=>5, "guesses_log10"=>0.6989700043360187}], calc_time=15, crack_times_seconds={"online_throttling_100_per_hour"=>216, "online_no_throttling_10_per_second"=>0.6, "offline_slow_hashing_1e4_per_second"=>0.0006, "offline_fast_hashing_1e10_per_second"=>6.0e-10}, crack_times_display={"online_throttling_100_per_hour"=>"4 minutes", "online_no_throttling_10_per_second"=>"less than a second", "offline_slow_hashing_1e4_per_second"=>"less than a second", "offline_fast_hashing_1e10_per_second"=>"less than a second"}, score=0, feedback={"warning"=>"This is a top-10 common password", "suggestions"=>["Add another word or two. Uncommon words are better."]}>
# returns a simple OpenStruct object so than you could send another messages to get more info
user.password_weak? => true/false # returns a boolean result of checking of weakness of your set passwordDefault parameters
A score of less than 3 is not recommended.
# config/initializers/devise.rb
Devise.setup do |config|
config.min_password_score = 4
endError Message
The default error message:
"not strong enough. It scored %{score}. It must score at least %{min_password_score}."You can customize this error message modifying the devise YAML file.
The crack_time_display, feedback, score and min_password_score variables are passed through if you need them.

To turn off password complexity validation for certain conditions, you could implement a concern (or similar) that overloads skip_password_complexity?:
def skip_password_complexity?
true
