XF2 Addons [Xon] Password Tools 3.7.5
This modification mostly follows the principles of Dan Wheelers password strength estimator zxcvbn.

  • Fix "Minimum time between triggering compromised password alerts on login" operating in seconds instead of hours
  • Fix cases where email 2fa would not be forced enabled on the first login request after a password is discovered as compromised
  • Rename various options to be better searchable
  • Adjust various option defaults to be more robust.
    • 'Minimum password length' from 8 => 10 characters
    • 'Minimum password strength' from 'very weak' to 'weak'
    • 'Pwned password minimum count (soft)' from 1 to 0
    • 'Pwned password minimum count (hard)' from 2 to 1
    • 'Pwned password cache time' from 7 to 3 days
  • Fix password checks could incorrectly apply when resetting a user's password
  • Improve detection of admin/automated edits for the "Enforce password complexity for admins" feature.
  • Require XenForo 2.2+, drop XF2.1 support
  • Actually implement cron to prune the pwned password hash cache. Old entries where already being ignored, so this will hopefully just reduce MySQL table bloat
  • Fix denial of service attack by preventing too long password which can trigger factorial number of brute force password checks when using Zxcvbn
    • Update new install option defaults to more recommend values:
    • Enforce password complexity for admins
    • Enable "Length check by default, and set the "Minimum length" to 8
    • Enable "Pwned password password validation" by default
