This jQuery plugin looks to address the needs for a good password meter: http://asgaard.co.uk/misc/jquery/index.php?show=password
It checks the randomness of the string given rather than for any specific rules (unless you add the rules you want). Good points to note: - deals with min length - allows custom rules - handles long strings of words - sees alpha string suffixed with numerals as less secure than alphanumeric string where everything is mixed together - sees sequential strings or repetition of letters / numbers as being less secure than non sequential / repeated strings - is a jQuery plugin - looks to be open-source -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.
