README

Symfony validation for Intracto's standard password policy

The policy consists of:

• minimum length (defaults on 8 characters)
• at least one upper cased character
• at least one lower cased character
• at least one number
• cannot equal the username
• maximum length (defaults on integer limit) - de facto optional

installation

Using composer:

composer require intracto/password-validator

The password constraint and -validator are dependent on both symfony/validator and symfony/security-core.

Usage

The validator is designed as a class validator on an entity implementing the Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\UserInterface.

In order to validate the password, you need to provide the accessor and property path to the plain password which needs validation.

A basic working example would be:

/**
 * @Password(plainPasswordAccessor="getPlainPassword", plainPasswordProperty="plain_password")
 */
class User implements UserInterface
{

   /** @var string */
   private $plain_password;
    
   /** @return string */
   public function getPlainPassword(): string
   {
       return $this->plain_password;
   }
      
      ...

}
