nauthilus_password.compare_passwords​

Compare two passwords. The first parameter is from a database. It is probably some kind of hash. The second argument is a clear text password. The function detects the algorithm used by the first given parameter and creates the same for the second parameter. If the result is equal, passwords are identical.

dynamic_loader("nauthilus_password")
local nauthilus_password = require("nauthilus_password")

local some_stored_pw = "password_from_db"
local some_password = "pw_given_by_user"

local match, err = nauthilus_password.compare_passwords(some_stored_pw, some_password)

nauthilus_password.check_password_policy​

Check a given password against some password policy

dynamic_loader("nauthilus_password")
local nauthilus_password = require("nauthilus_password")

local password = "some_secret"

local ppolicy_ok = nauthilus_password.check_password_policy({
            min_length = 12,
            min_upper = 2,
            min_lower = 2,
            min_dumber = 1,
            min_special = 0,
        }, password)
