pass-meter

Simple password strength testing.

Optional Dependencies

• jQuery 1.7 or higher (needed for plugin usage)

Install

npm install @syntaqx/pass-meter

Usage

When used as either a jQuery plugin or Module, Pass-Meter only expects a single argument. If the argument is a function, it is treated as the afterTest callback option. If you need to specify additional options, you will need to provide a standard options object.

jQuery

Simple call the $.passMeter plugin on any elements you'd like. Create your own styling in the callback:

$('input[type="password"]').passMeter(function (score) {
  alert('Your password is ' + score + '% strong.');
});

Or, with additional options:

$('input[type="password"]').passMeter({
  event: 'change',
  afterTest: function (score) {
    alert('Your password is ' + score + '% strong.');
  },
});

Module

var PassMeter = require('pass-meter');

var meter = new PassMeter();
var pass = 'apasswordtotest';

console.log('The password "' + pass + '" is ' + meter.test(pass) + '% strong');

Or, with additional options:

var PassMeter = require('pass-meter');

var meter = new PassMeter({
  afterTest: function (score, value) {
    console.log('The password ' + value + ' is ' + score + '% strong');
  },
});

meter.test('apasswordtotest');
