VaultCheck API

VaultCheck is a simple password strength checker API built using FastAPI. It evaluates password security based on length, character variety, and common password patterns.

Features

• Checks password strength based on length and complexity.
• Identifies weak passwords (e.g., common patterns like "password", "1234", "admin").
• Returns a hashed version of the password using bcrypt.
• Provides a simple API endpoint for integration into other applications.
