Configuration

You can override the default configuration by passing an array to the constructor., _(*2)

$check = new \Complexify\Complexify(array(
    'minimumChars' => 8,          // the minimum acceptable password length
    'strengthScaleFactor' => 1,   // scale the required password strength (higher numbers require a more complex password)
    'bannedPasswords' => array(), // override the default banned password list
    'banMode' => 'strict',        // strict == don't allow substrings of banned passwords, loose == only ban exact matches
    'encoding' => 'UTF-8',        // password string encoding
));
