The `Pwdcheck` tool uses the Wolfram Alpha method for estimating the strength of a password. It goes through a set of several checks to give the password a "score":

- 0-60: Very Weak
- 60-70: Weak
- 70-80: Fair
- 80-90: Strong
- 90-100: Very Strong

#### Installation

[](#installation)

You can use Composer to install `Pwdcheck`:

```
{
	"require": {
		"psecio/pwdcheck": "1.*"
	}
}

```

#### Usage

[](#usage)

Usage of the tool is simple and you can either fetch the text version of the strength (ex. "Very Weak") or a numeric representation from zero through four:
