Password security
=================
How Weblate stores passwords
----------------------------
Weblate uses a Django implementation to store hashed passwords; see :ref:`django:auth_password_storage`.
The recommended Weblate configuration uses Argon2 with time_cost = 2, memory_cost = 102400, and parallelism = 8.
.. hint::
The password hashing can be customized using :setting:`django:PASSWORD_HASHERS`.
Password validation
-------------------
When a user is configuring a password, it is validated to reduce the risk of using weak passwords.
The recommended Weblate configuration verifies:
* The password has to be at least 10 characters long, and at most 72 characters long.
* Password similar to username and other attributes is rejected.
* A common or overly simple password is rejected.
* Any password user used recently is rejected.
* Password strength is optionally checked using the zxcvbn algorithm.
.. hint::
The password validation can be customized using :setting:`django:AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS`.
Social or third-party authentication
------------------------------------
Weblate does not store any passwords or enforce any password policy when social
or third-party authentication is configured. The passwords are, in such a case,
fully managed externally.
