✨ NAME ✨

ok so like, this page is Data::...h::Date(3pm) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation bestie — and the module is Data::Password::zxcvbn::Match::Date, a match class for digit sequences that look like dates 💅

Like, you know how somebody thinks they're being SO sneaky putting their birthday in their password? Yeah. This class is the one that clocks it. 🕵️♀️🎂

🌈 VERSION 🌈

version 1.1.3 — periodt, that's the one. 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically: this class represents the guess that a certain substring of a password — one made of digits and maybe some separators — could be figured out just by scanning dates in the recent past. Like birthdays 🎂, or recent events 🗓️.

It's giving "your anniversary is not a security strategy," fr fr. 😭

🎀 ATTRIBUTES 🎀

💜 year

An integer, bestie. It's the year extracted from the token. That's it, that's the whole vibe. ✨

💜 separator

A string, possibly empty 👀 — it's the separator used between digits in the token. So like the / in 1/1/91 is doing main character work here. 🌸

👑 METHODS 👑

🌟 estimate_guesses

The number of guesses equals the number of days between the extracted year and a reference year (currently 2017), all multiplied by the possible separators. 💫

Math girlies stay winning, no cap.

🌟 make

my @matches = @{ Data::Password::zxcvbn::Match::Date->make(
  $password,
) };

This bad boy scans the $password for sequences of digits and separators that look like dates 🗓️✨. Some examples, so you can see the vision:

  • 1/1/91
  • 1191
  • 1991-01-01
  • 910101

Not the 910101 catching me off guard 💀 bestie that one is sneaky fr.

🌟 feedback_warning

🌟 feedback_suggestions

This class suggests not using dates. Full stop. It's not subtle about it and honestly? It shouldn't be. 🙈

🌟 fields_for_json

The JSON serialisation for matches of this class will contain token i j guesses guesses_log10 year separator — that whole lineup, exactly like that. 🫶
