jQuery plugin which checks passwords live against a set of criteria including personal information and dictionary words.
$('#password').password();
More settings include:
$('#password1').password({
minLength:8, //the minimum length of the password
allowSpace:false, //whether or not a space character is allowed in the password
strengthIndicator:$('#myStrengthMeter'), //the element to turn into a strength meter
checklist:$('#myChecklist'), //the element to turn into a checklist
dictionary:'../src/dictionaries/en.js', //a JSON file which has a list of disallowed words
doubleType:$('#password2'), //a second password field to allow for double typing checking
personalInformation:[ //personal information to stop the user from using
$('#name'), //can be elements
'2nd December 1992' //or strings
],
change:function(score, issues, pass) { //the function which is called when the password changes
$('#feedback').html('<strong>Score:</strong> '+Math.round(score)+'<br /><strong>Problems:</strong> '+issues.join(', ')+'<br /><strong>Passed?:</strong> '+pass);
}
});
