In FastMail, it’s much the same but without emailed codes as an option, because it is your email account that you’re trying to log in to. We then use zxcvbn for password strength detection, denying weak passwords (those where it is estimated to take less than 10⁶ attempts to guess). In Topicbox, we use emailed codes/magic links by default, but you can set a password and use that if you prefer (and if you want 2FA, you must use a password). (This is all hypothetical-I don’t believe any tools actually look at password field validation to see if they did the right thing.) So long as the form uses setCustomValidity to do its complaining when pattern isn’t enough, and the browser’s password generator knows to look at that and try again, you’re good to go. Those may be painful to shoehorn into a regular expression, but doing so is probably generally not too impractical.)įortunately, the likes of zxcvbn are very password-generator-friendly, as they’re encouraging the sorts of strong passwords password generators like to make so long as they also have similar accidentally-weak-generated-password protection, zxcvbn is unlikely to cause any trouble and can probably be ignored in defining a pattern for the generator to use. (Other rules may embed restrictions on use of names, dates, &c. I shudder to think how many megabytes long a regular expression to validate that would be, and how atrociously it would perform. To take an example I’m familiar with, on FastMail and Topicbox we use Dropbox’s zxcvbn (a truly excellent library embodying a sound approach to password security), and flat-out deny passwords that are expected to take less than 10⁶ guesses, as too weak. Simply tap the eye icon to show your password or tap copy to copy a password to the clipboard.Few password rules can’t be expressed in such a regular expression, but there are definitely some where doing is impractical or absurd. This could help you when you used the password generator on a website but your new password wasn’t saved, or you can’t find it to sign in.Īll generated passwords are saved in the password history.
Sticky Password also keeps track of all the passwords you create with the password generator, so you can get them back if you didn’t have a chance to save them. Sticky Password lets you adjust the settings via advanced options to meet these requirements. However, some sites do have their own policies and - for example - only allow you to use certain symbols or certain lengths of a new password. Tip: The longer your password is, and the more different characters a password has, the stronger it is. Tap Advanced options to see more password settings: length, upper and lower case letters, numbers, special characters or exclusion of similar characters. Important note: Don’t forget to save this newly generated password in Sticky password!
Always keep in mind that your passwords are the first line of defense against cyber criminals.
