How to use

Add django-zxcvbn-password-validator to your requirements and get it with pip. Then everything happens in your settings file.

Add 'django_zxcvbn_password_validator' in the INSTALLED_APPS :

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    "django_zxcvbn_password_validator"
]

Modify AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS :

AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS = [
    {
        "NAME": "django.contrib.auth.password_validation.UserAttributeSimilarityValidator",
    },
    {
        "NAME": "django_zxcvbn_password_validator.ZxcvbnPasswordValidator",
    },
    # ...
]

You could choose to use zxcvbn alone, but I personally still use Django's UserAttributeSimilarityValidator, because there seems to be still be some problem with it integrating user information with zxcvbn (as of june 2018).

Finally, you can set the PASSWORD_MINIMAL_STRENGTH to your liking (default is 2), every password scoring lower than this number will be rejected :

# 0 too guessable: risky password. (guesses < 10^3)
# 1 very guessable: protection from throttled online attacks.
# (guesses < 10^6)
# 2 somewhat guessable: protection from unthrottled online attacks.
# (guesses < 10^8)
# 3 safely unguessable: moderate protection from offline slow-hash scenario.
# (guesses < 10^10)
# 4 very unguessable: strong protection from offline slow-hash scenario.
# (guesses >= 10^10)
PASSWORD_MINIMAL_STRENGTH = 0 if DEBUG else 4
