Password Strength Meter

stimeo--password-strength

Shows how strong a password is, as guidance, in a meter and in words.

  • Core
  • Meter

Estimates the strength of the password being typed and shows it both as a meter and in words. The estimate looks at length and the variety of characters; it is not a dictionary check, so treat it as guidance. When you want something stricter, you can hand it a score you worked out yourself. The meter and the wording change immediately, while the spoken message waits until typing stops and only arrives when the level itself changes, so nothing interrupts you mid-word. Because it is told in words as well as colour, it reaches people who cannot rely on the colour.

running

Type to watch the strength change. The estimate looks at length and character variety rather than checking a dictionary, so treat it as guidance. The spoken message waits until you stop typing, and only when the level changes.
