Add support of zxcvbn password strength checker to bugs.webkit.org website.

• Component: WebKit Website
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Ling Ho]

Currently bugs.webkit.org check for password complexity based on several simple rules that allows many weak passwords to be used. We would like to make sure our users, especially contributors use strong passwords.

Installing a password strength estimator will better serve the purpose.  zxcvbn is a reputable password strength estimator, and currently also deployed at trac.webkit.org.

r- only to update Bugzilla/Install/Requirements.pm to add the Data::Password::zxcvbn module as required.  The rest of the changes are optional.

> Websites/bugs.webkit.org/Bugzilla/Config/Auth.pm:115
> +                'letters_numbers_specialchars', 'zxcvbn' ],

Nit:  I hadn't heard of zxcvbn before, so using something a little more description (like 'zxcvbn_password_checker') would be easier to grok the first time you see it.

Not necessary to land the patch.

> Websites/bugs.webkit.org/Bugzilla/User.pm:34
> +use Data::Password::zxcvbn 'password_strength'; # WEBKIT_CHANGES

I think it's more idiomatic Perl to use qw() here:

use Data::Password::zxcvbn qw(password_strength); # WEBKIT_CHANGES

You also need to update Bugzilla/Install/Requirements.pm to list the Data::Password::zxcvbn module as required.

> Websites/bugs.webkit.org/Bugzilla/User.pm:2492
> +    } elsif ($complexity_level eq 'zxcvbn') {

Update 'zxcvbn' if you changed the name above.

r=me, but please fix the [% error filter html %] issue at minimum.  After that, this is good to go.

> Websites/bugs.webkit.org/Bugzilla/User.pm:2495
> +        return 'Password is weak. ' . $est_strength->{feedback}->{warning} . '. '

Nit:  Format of this message is not like the others; would like something like `password_too_weak_SCORE' where "SCORE" is replaced with the numeric score, then you could change the template to pull out the score (which may not even be needed--if so, just drop "_SCORE" from the return value) and write the text to display to the user there (which would be easier to translate if we cared about this).

You can land the patch without this change, but please consider it.

> Websites/bugs.webkit.org/template/en/default/global/user-error.html.tmpl:1468
> +    [% error %]

This should be:

    [% error filter html %]

If you make the other change, you can just put the literal text here like this:

    The password is too weak.

- Added "FILTER html" to [% error %]
- Keeping the way message is displayed because it will relay warning message string generated by the zxcvbn module. Removed the trailing period since the string could be empty.
