static block in Password class does not initialize due to NPE about password4j HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @divijen,

thank you for opening the issue.
This is caused by your JVM that has a provider containing no services.

Can you post the result of this in your environment? Thank you

        for (Provider provider : Security.getProviders())
        {
            System.out.println(provider.getName());
            if (provider.getServices() != null)
            {
                for (Provider.Service service : provider.getServices())
                {
                    System.out.println(" - " + service.getAlgorithm());
                }
            }

        }

Thank you @firaja

I could probably write a small chunk where there might be an issue:

Hi @divijen a fix is published for this problem.
You can try version 1.7.2 and see if it's solved.

What I found weird is that with Amazon Corretto 1.8 I never get a null from provider.getServices(), even if the Provider has no Service.
The only way to replicate it was to override method Provider#getServices() and force it to return null. Maybe you have a library doing so.
