feat: Refactor password strength scoring to use a 1-100 scale
This commit introduces a comprehensive scoring system for password strength, replacing the previous categorical approach. The new system evaluates passwords based on four key factors:
- Length (up to 30 points): Rewards passwords between 8 and 20 characters.
- Character Variety (up to 30 points): Awards points for using uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters, with bonuses for mixed case and multiple character types.
- Complexity (up to 20 points): Checks for repeated characters, sequential patterns, common passwords, and dictionary words.
- Entropy (up to 20 points): Calculates password entropy based on character set size and length.
Key improvements:
- Early returns for empty and very short passwords (score of 1)
- Robust checks for common patterns and keyboard sequences
- Comprehensive test suite using data providers
- Type-safe implementation with strict return types
The scoring system now provides a more granular and accurate assessment of password strength, making it easier to enforce security policies and guide users toward stronger passwords.
