+libpwquality (library for password quality checking and generation)
+
+The libpwquality library purpose is to provide common functions for password quality checking
+and also scoring them based on their apparent randomness.
+The library also provides a function for generating random passwords with good pronounceability.
+The library supports reading and parsing of a configuration file.
+
+In the package there are also very simple utilities that use the library function and PAM module
+that can be used instead of pam_cracklib. The module supports all the options of pam_cracklib.
