Code for our 2016 IEEE/IFIP DSN paper "fuzzyPSM: A New Password Strength Meter Using Fuzzy Probabilistic Context-Free Grammars"
When users create a new account, most of them (77.38%) simply retrieve one of their existing passwords from memory and then reuse (or slightly modify) it.
Based on this observation, we suggest a new password strength meter, named fuzzyPSM, that employs fuzzy probabilistic context-free grammar (PCFG).
This project comprises both Windows and Linux versions.
The paper is available at the IEEE Xplore. You can cite our work with the following BibTeX entry:
