Crypt::...dPolicy(3)

💖 Crypt::PWSafe3::PasswordPolicy 💖

okay bestie, so this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual (perl section 3, iykyk) and it's literally all about Crypt::PWSafe3::PasswordPolicy — the little icon that represents a passwordsafe v3 password policy entry of a record. ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

Crypt::PWSafe3::PasswordPolicy — no cap, this represents a passwordsafe v3 passwprd policy entry of a record. (yes the typo "passwprd" is canon, it's in the original, we don't touch it, it's iconic 🙈)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the vibe, copy-paste ready:

use Data::Dumper;
use Crypt::PWSafe3;
use Crypt::PWSafe3::PasswordPolicy;
my $record = $vault->getrecord($uuid);
my $policy = $record->policy;

# print current values
print Dumper($policy);

# print some values
print $policy->UseEasyVision;

# change some of them
$policy->MaxLength(8);
$policy->MinSymbols(2);

# put back into record
$record->policy($policy);

like… grab the record, grab its policy, dump it, read a value, change a couple values, shove it back in. the whole glow-up. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so these are the flags you can set, and it's giving boolean energy: 1 = TRUE, 0 = FALSE. periodt.

• UseLowercase
• UseUppercase
• UseDigits
• UseSymbols
• UseHexDigits
• UseEasyVision
• MakePronounceable

and these are the numerical settings you can tune, the little dials you get to fiddle with:

• MaxLength
• MinLowercase
• MinUppercase
• MinDigits
• MinSymbols

every single one of them can be called as functions — check the SYNOPSIS above for examples, bestie. 🫶 and here's the rules of the game:

• if you call it with an argument, the value gets changed 💫
• if you call it without one, it just gets returned to you 🌈

also!! the raw database value can be assigned by using the raw parameter. that's the secret menu item, iykyk 🔥
