Tor: Enforce minimum master password complexity

Hi Team, Actual results: There is no password complexity set for Master password in about:preferencessecurity , Because I was able to set my password like 123,123456,www, admin etc which is really common, apart from that we can use spaces as well in master password i was able to set space as my...

ownCloud: Password Complexity Not Enforced On Password Change

Hi! Owncloud does not enforce password complexity on password change, so it's possible to use passwords of any size or form. In example I can set my password to be "a" or "qwerty". How to reproduce: Change your password to something that does not match your required complexity. Proof Of Concept:...

Changes in Password Best Practices

NIST recently published its four-volume SP800-63b Digital Identity Guidelines. Among other things, it makes three important suggestions when it comes to passwords: 1. Stop it with the annoying password complexity rules. They make passwords harder to remember. They increase errors because...

Radancy: Weak password

It takes ash123456789123456789 as a password,which is not secure.It can be cracked using Dictionary,brute force etc attacks. Impact: If password complexity is not enforced people may tend to put easily guessable password which may be exploitable for a malicious user. Solution-To make it more...
