- 🔍 Strength Assessment: Evaluates passwords against multiple criteria, including:
- Minimum length (at least 12 characters)
- Character variety (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, special characters)
- Common password patterns
- 🚫 Leet Speak Detection: Identifies and discourages the use of common leet speak substitutions (e.g., "3" for "e") that can weaken password security.
- 📊 Entropy Calculation: Measures the randomness of passwords to provide a quantitative strength score, helping users understand the strength of their passwords.
- 🔐 Breach Check: Utilizes the Have I Been Pwned API to check if a password has been compromised in known data breaches, alerting users to potential risks.
- 🛡️ Strong Password Generation: Offers suggestions for generating strong, random passwords to enhance security.
- Python: The primary programming language used for development.
- Regular Expressions: For pattern matching and validation.
- Hashing (SHA-1): To securely check password breaches.
- RESTful APIs: For interacting with external services.
- Command-line Interface: For user interaction.
