Data::Password::zxcvbn::Match::Spatial - match class for sequences of nearby keys
Contents
Attributes
"graph_name"
The name of the keyboard / adjacency graph used for this match
"graph_meta"
Hashref, spatial information about the graph:
• "starting_positions"
the number of keys in the keyboard, or starting nodes in the graph
• "average_degree"
the average number of neighbouring keys, or average out-degree of the graph
"shifted_count"
How many of the keys need to be "shifted" to produce the token
"turns"
How many times the finger must have changed direction to produce the token

Description
This class represents the guess that a certain substring of a password can be obtained by moving a finger
in a continuous line on a keyboard.
Methods
"estimate_guesses"
The number of guesses grows super-linearly with the length of the pattern, the number of "turns", and the
amount of shifted keys.
"make"
my @matches = @{ Data::Password::zxcvbn::Match::Spatial->make(
$password,
{ # this is the default
graphs => \%Data::Password::zxcvbn::AdjacencyGraph::graphs,
},
) };
Scans the $password for substrings that can be produced by typing on the keyboards described by the
"graphs".
The data structure needed for "graphs" is a bit complicated; look at the
"build-keyboard-adjacency-graphs" script in the distribution's repository
<https://bitbucket.org/broadbean/p5-data-password-zxcvbn/src/master/maint/build-keyboard-adjacency-
graphs>.
"feedback_warning""feedback_suggestions"
This class suggests that short keyboard patterns are easy to guess, and to use longer and less straight
ones.
"fields_for_json"
The JSON serialisation for matches of this class will contain "token i j guesses guesses_log10 graph_name
shifted_count turns".
