Description
Hi all,
We've had an issue where Bitdefender is blocking the `zxcvbn` JS libarary -- categorising it as pornography -- presumably due to the number of adult-themed passwords included.
Seems to occur only on Windows.
A way of overcoming this would be great - perhaps an option of taking a url to retrieve the data via AJAX after initialising, reversing the stored words or similar.
Any feedback or advice greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Bitdefender block on Windows against the zxcvbn JavaScript package and inspect how its adult-themed password data is stored in the distributed library. Compare possible data-loading or transformation approaches, then verify that the package is no longer categorised as pornography while password-strength estimation still works.
