password_validator is a CLI tool that validates your input of passwords(from STDIN in newline delimited format) against the following requirements per NIST guidelines:

• 8 character minimum
• 64 character maximum
• All characters must be ASC-II characters
• Not a common password

1. python3.6+ is in your $PATH 2 you have a common password text file, delimited by newline. Here is one example.
2. (Optional) you have installed git

My the debian 9 in my chromebook doesn't let me run setuptools probably due to it's not a full-blown OS. So, we only have poor man's version now. 😂

For now

# substitute ~ with whatever path you want to put this project to
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/cwyl02/password_validator.git

Or go to releases page and download the zip file and unpack it to the location you like.
