Is anybody aware of a reasonable algorithm or some code that can be
used to test/check the strength of a password? I'd like to give a
kind of score or a color (red,yellow,green). I've looked at
cracklib, but that doesn't give a score, really.
Google keywords: password strength checker code
There seem to be plenty of these available in Javascript, which
doesn't seem overly difficult to translate.
The gist of most code seems to be to score different character
classes (alpha, num, punct, etc.), mixed case, and the overall
length. There doesn't seem to be any standard for scoring, though.
