NAME

       Data::Password::zxcvbn::Match::Date - match class for digit sequences that look like dates

VERSION

       version 1.0.6

DESCRIPTION

       This class represents the guess that a certain substring of a password, consisting of
       digits and maybe separators, can be guessed by scanning dates in the recent past (like
       birthdays, or recent events).

ATTRIBUTES

   "year"
       Integer, the year extracted from the token.

   "separator"
       String, possibly empty: the separator used between digits in the token.

METHODS

   "estimate_guesses"
       The number of guesses is the number of days between the extracted "year" and a reference
       year (currently 2017), multiplied by the possible separators.

   "make"
         my @matches = @{ Data::Password::zxcvbn::Match::Date->make(
           $password,
         ) };

       Scans the $password for sequences of digits and separators that look like dates. Some
       examples:

       •   1/1/91

       •   1191

       •   1991-01-01

       •   910101

   "feedback_warning"
   "feedback_suggestions"
       This class suggests not using dates.

   "fields_for_json"
       The JSON serialisation for matches of this class will contain "token i j guesses
       guesses_log10 year separator".
