FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package plexity
Plexity
Plexity (Password Complexity) is a password complexity library that enables you to set "rules" for a password (or any other kind of string) that you can then check against in your application.
This library supports the following kind of complexity settings:
- Upper/lowercase character detection
- Number containment
- Special character containment
- Minimum/maximum character detection
- Password age expiry detection
- Detection of previous use such as against a password history datastore.
- Ability to add and check against a configurable list of common passwords/words etc.
Requirements
This library is developed and tested against PHP 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1 and 8.2!
If you need to use an older version of PHP, you should instead install the 1.x version of this library (see below for details).

If you need to use an older version of PHP, version 1.x.x supports PHP 5.6, 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2, you can install this version using Composer with this command instead:
Examples
A simple example of how you can use the methods to build up a password complexity rule-set and then validate the password.
Tests and coverage
This library is fully unit tested using PHPUnit.
I use GitHub Actions for continuous integration, which triggers tests for PHP 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1 and 8.2 every time a commit is pushed.
If you wish to run the tests yourself you should run the following:
Code coverage can also be run but requires XDebug installed...
