I took the time to update https://packagist.org/packages/stella-maris/nist-password to the latest version of the NIST specs regarding passwords. It's now also tested on PHP8.1 through PHP8.5

If you are looking for a library to make sure your passwords are compliant to the latest security rules, this might be for you.

Feel free to open an issue when you're missing something.

Oh, yeah! #Plex got hacked!

They SAY passwords were hashed, but PLEASE #reset your plex #password and force a sign-out on ALL devices using their interface as follows:

When doing so, there's a checkbox to "Sign out connected devices after password change," which we recommend you enable.

Irritating...especially cos they don't say WHEN this happened!

While I appreciate the #password requirements, I admit to being at a loss atm.

The new #password #file management tool for #swad, #swadpw, is almost done, tests finally look sane 😉

Of course, this new credentials checker in #swad needs a #tool to edit these #password files, that's currently work in progress.

I just implemented the class for reading a password, pretty simple thing from a pipe, but an "interesting" job from a #terminal. Turns out doing that portably, reliably and secure needs quite some code. 🙈

There's #getpass, but that's deprecated for good reasons (global state and not perfectly clear how it deals with #signals that could interrupt the input). And there's the sane replacement #readpassphrase in some systems (e.g. #FreeBSD), but that's not portable. 🙃

So, plain old #tcsetattr it is, with some signal handling on top:

So, Cloudflare analyzed passwords people are using to log in to sites they protect and discovered lots of re-use.

Let me put the important words in uppercase.
