The team has been focused on making a first in class experience for your end users when it comes to passwords. Let's talk about the new features we introduced.
It's time for an exciting announcement from our end, one that's been brewing for a while. While it may seem like a small step, we believe it's a giant leap towards an unparalleled user experience, especially when it comes to password security.
Our team has been hard at work, making your end users' experience first-in-class. We're thrilled to introduce a suite of new features that will take password management to the next level. Let's dive into the details!
Who hasn't forgotten a password at least once? Now, with our traditional password reset flow, users can reset their password with a single click. The best part? It ships with our sign in component and syncs perfectly with our Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) products, ensuring all necessary verification steps are complete before users are automatically signed back into your application.
In addition to our HaveIBeenPwned integration, we now enable you to set a minimum strength requirement for all new passwords in your application. This added security layer is powered by the password strength estimator zxcvbn-ts.
With its ability to detect common use passwords and patterns such as dates, names, and common phrases, zxcvbn-ts ensures that your end users are protected from using weak passwords in your application. Now, a stronger password security is not just an option, but a standard.
In addition to HaveIBeenPwned you can now add a minimum strength requirement, powered by by zxcvbn-ts, for all new passwords created for your application.
Signing up for an account has never been easier. Our new guidance cues, based on your application's password policies, which are easily configurable in the Clerk dashboard, help users create passwords that are robust and compliant.
For our users and beyond, we're introducing the ability to enforce specific password requirements like special characters, numbers, and a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters. This will help your users to not just meet, but exceed your standards.
We're excited about these new additions and can't wait for you to experience them. Here's to a better user experience for all! Let us know your thoughts on Twitter @ClerkDev or in the Clerk Community on Discord.
