Typing stubs for zxcvbn
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use zxcvbn in a type-checked Python project. It is a lightweight, actively maintained stub package with no runtime overhead and permissive licensing. Install it alongside zxcvbn to enable full type checking support. If you do not use type checkers or do not use zxcvbn, it provides no value.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; zxcvbn itself must be installed separately for runtime functionality.
- Low friction install with no runtime dependencies.

What it is and what it does
types-zxcvbn is a type stub package from the typeshed project that provides type annotations for the zxcvbn password strength estimation library. It allows Python type checkers like mypy and pyright to understand and validate the types used when calling zxcvbn functions, catching type errors at check time rather than runtime.
The package itself contains no runtime code—it is purely metadata for type checkers. It targets zxcvbn version 4.5.* and has been tested with mypy 2.1.0 and pyright 1.1.409. Installation is lightweight with no dependencies, and it requires Python 3.10 or later. If you use zxcvbn in a typed codebase, installing this stub package enables your type checker to understand zxcvbn's API.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check code that calls zxcvbn password strength functions.
- Catch type mismatches in zxcvbn function arguments during static analysis before deployment.
- Provide IDE autocomplete and inline type documentation for zxcvbn methods in editors that support type stubs.
- Maintain strict type safety in security-sensitive password validation workflows.
