So one only must take a closer look at \fBKCheckPass\fP to ensure password security. It's much easier for programs using \fBKCheckPass\fP to preserve security. +.PP +.br +\fBTechnique:\fP +.sp 1 +\fBKCheckPass\fP is a simple password checker. Just invoke and send it the password on stdin. +.sp 1 +If the password was accepted, the program exits with 0; +.br +if it was rejected, it exits with 1.
