Description: low-budget password strength estimation - Node.js
 zxcvbn is a password strength estimator inspired by password crackers.
 Through pattern matching and conservative estimation, it recognizes and
 weighs 30k common passwords, common names and surnames according to US
 census data, popular English words from Wikipedia and US television and
 movies, and other common patterns like dates, repeats (aaa), sequences
 (abcd), keyboard patterns (qwertyuiop), and l33t speak.
 .
 Consider using zxcvbn as an algorithmic alternative to password
 composition policy — it is more secure, flexible, and usable when sites
 require a minimal complexity score in place of annoying rules like
 "passwords must contain three of {lower, upper, numbers, symbols}".
 .
  - More secure: policies often fail both ways, allowing weak passwords
    (P@ssword1) and disallowing strong passwords.
  - More flexible: zxcvbn allows many password styles to flourish so long
    as it detects sufficient complexity — passphrases are rated highly
    given enough uncommon words, keyboard patterns are ranked based on
    length and number of turns, and capitalization adds more complexity
    when it's unpredictaBle.
  - More usable: zxcvbn is designed to power simple, rule-free interfaces
    that give instant feedback. In addition to strength estimation, zxcvbn
    includes minimal, targeted verbal feedback that can help guide users
    towards less guessable passwords.
