passwdqc is a password/passphrase strength checking and policy
enforcement toolset, including a PAM module (pam_passwdqc), command-line
programs (pwqcheck, pwqfilter, and pwqgen), and a library (libpasswdqc).
pam_passwdqc is normally invoked on password changes by programs such as
passwd(1). It is capable of checking password or passphrase strength,
enforcing a policy, and offering randomly-generated passphrases, with
all of these features being optional and easily (re-)configurable.
pwqcheck and pwqgen are standalone password/passphrase strength checking
and random passphrase generator programs, respectively, which are usable
from scripts.
The pwqfilter program searches, creates, or updates binary passphrase
filter files, which can also be used with pwqcheck and pam_passwdqc.
libpasswdqc is the underlying library, which may also be used from
third-party programs.
