I'm quite new to jQuery, and I've written a simple function to check the strength of a password for each keypress.

The idea is that every time a user enters a character, the contents is evaluated to test the strengh of the password they have entered... I'm sure everyone has seen these before.

Anyhow, the logic I have used is that no password begins with a value of 1. When a lower-case character is used, the score increments to 2. When a digit is used the score increments by 1 again, same for when an uppercase character is used and when the password becomes 5 or more characters long.

What is returned is the strength of the password so far as a value from 1 to 5 every time a key is pressed.

So, about my question. The way that I've done it doesn't seem very jQuery like... almost like I may as well have just done straight javascript. Also I was wondering about my logic. Have I done anything done or overlooked something? Any suggestions from smarter people than myself?

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

$(document).ready(function(){

        $("#pass_strength").keyup(function() {

            var strength = 1;

            /*length 5 characters or more*/
            if(this.value.length >= 5) {
                strength++;
            }

            /*contains lowercase characters*/
            if(this.value.match(/[a-z]+/)) {
                strength++;
            }

            /*contains digits*/
            if(this.value.match(/[0-9]+/)) {
                strength++;
            }

            /*contains uppercase characters*/
            if(this.value.match(/[A-Z]+/)) {
                strength++;
            }

            alert(strength);
        });
     });

The best way is to take an existing plugin as TJB suggested.

As to your question about the code itself, a nicer way is to write it like that:

var pass = "f00Bar!";

var strength = 1;
var arr = [/.{5,}/, /[a-z]+/, /[0-9]+/, /[A-Z]+/];
jQuery.map(arr, function(regexp) {
  if(pass.match(regexp))
     strength++;
});

(Modified to correct syntax errors.)

I would suggest evaluating an existing jQuery password strength plugin. (unless your just doing it as an exercise)

Here are a few links I found:

On top of gs' answer, you should check the password against common dictionary words (using a hash, probably). Otherwise a weak password like 'Yellow1' will be evaluated as strong by your logic.

In case you don't want to use jQuery you can use something like this:

function strengthResult(p) {
if(p.length<6 || p.length>18) {
return 'Passwords must be 6-18 characters';
}
var strength = checkStrength(p);
switch(true) {
    case strength<=30:
        return 'Password "'+p+'" ('+strength+') is Very Weak';
        break;
    case strength>30 && strength<=35:
        return 'Password "'+p+'" ('+strength+') is Weak';
        break;
    case strength>35 && strength<=50:
        return 'Password "'+p+'" ('+strength+') is below Average';
        break;        
    case strength>50 && strength<=60:
        return 'Password "'+p+'" ('+strength+') is almost Good';
        break;
    case strength>60 && strength<=70:
        return 'Password "'+p+'" ('+strength+') is Good';
        break;
    case strength>70 && strength<=80:
        return 'Password "'+p+'" ('+strength+') is Very Good';
        break;

the above snippet will calculate password strength for passwords from 6 to 18 characters in length. The default value for each unique character is

  • 7 points if password 6-10 characters
  • 6 points if password 10-14 characters
  • 5 points if password 14-18 characters

If a character is repeated in password then it looses 2 points for every repetition.

Extra points are given when the following specifications are met:

  • password has at least 6 digits (adds 2.5 or 3 or 4 points)
  • password has at least 1 number (adds 2.5 or 3 or 4 points)
  • password has at least 1 special character (adds 2.5 or 3 or 4 points)
  • password has at least 1 upper-case and 1 lower-case character (adds 2.5 or 3 or 4 points)
1
  • The length of the password should be at least 8 characters.
  • The strength increases with the length, a longer password should have more points.
  • Include special characters like #/" and the like. (Or just any other than [a-Z0-9])
  • For really long passwords this method could get slow. Why don't you just test every new character and use a dictionary for which features the password already has.

Try this code to check the password for text box

<script>
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('#pwd').keyup(function()
{
$('#strength_message').html(checkStrength($('#pwd').val()))
}) 
function checkStrength(password)
{
var strength = 0
if (password.length < 6) { 
$('#strength_message').removeClass()
$('#strength_message').addClass('short')
return 'Too short' 
}

if (password.length > 7) strength += 1
if (password.match(/([a-z].*[A-Z])|([A-Z].*[a-z])/))  strength += 1
if (password.match(/([a-zA-Z])/) && password.match(/([0-9])/))  strength += 1 
if (password.match(/([!,%,&,@,#,$,^,*,?,_,~])/))  strength += 1
if (password.match(/(.*[!,%,&,@,#,$,^,*,?,_,~].*[!,%,&,@,#,$,^,*,?,_,~])/)) strength += 1
if (strength < 2 )
{
$('#strength_message').removeClass()
$('#strength_message').addClass('weak')
return 'Weak'   
}
else if (strength == 2 )
{
$('#strength_message').removeClass()
$('#strength_message').addClass('good')
return 'Good'  
}
else
{
$('#strength_message').removeClass()
$('#strength_message').addClass('strong')
return 'Strong'
}
}
});
</script>

Html:

   <center><form id="password-strength">
    <label>Password : </label>
    <input name="pwd" id="pwd" type="password"/>
    <span id="strength_message"></span>
    </form><br/>

    It is better to give a brief explanation along with your code. – niyasc Jun 27 '18 at 10:10
  • Unless you have something very specific to add I wouldn't recommend adding an answer to a 9 year old question – Liam Jun 27 '18 at 10:56
  • Just note, this is the exact same code as the accepted answer someone posted two years earlier without the explanation. – Dawson Irvine Oct 16 '20 at 20:40
  • nice! my scoring function uses a very similar approach - bonus for variation, mess and length: https://codepen.io/oriadam/pen/ExmaoYy tried the same set, results are similar. only that i gave too much score to `1111111111111111` (31) – oriadam Jun 30 '21 at 12:21

Strength of a password should be checked on behalf of several parameters like the presence of special characters and numbers, length of the password etc.

I have found the below tutorial with nice demo:

http://tinytute.com/2014/06/03/animated-password-strength-checker-quick-easy/

The jQuery code block:

$(document).ready(function(){

    $("#textBox").keyup(function(){

        var passWord = $("#textBox").val();
        var passLength = passWord.length;
        var specialFlag = 0;
        var numberFlag = 0;
        var numberGenerator = 0;
        var total = 0;

        if(/^[a-zA-Z0-9- ]*$/.test(passWord) == false) {

            specialFlag =20;
        }


        if(passWord.match(/[0-9]/)) {

            numberFlag = 25;
        }

        if(passLength>4&&passLength<=6){
            numberGenerator =25;
        }else if(passLength>=7&&passLength<=9){
            numberGenerator =35;
        }else if(passLength>9){
            numberGenerator =55;
        }else if(passLength>0&&passLength<=4){
            numberGenerator =15;
        }else{
            numberGenerator =0;
        }

        total = numberGenerator + specialFlag + numberFlag;
        if(total<30){
            $('#progressBar').css('background-color','#CCC');
        }else if(total<60&&total>=30){

            $('#progressBar').css('background-color','#FF6600');

        }else if(total>=60&&total<90){

            $('#progressBar').css('background-color','#FFCC00');

        }else if(total>=90){

            $('#progressBar').css('background-color','#0f0');

        }
        $('#progressBar').css('width',total+'%');

    });

});

Hope these set of logic will solve the problem

best way is this 

function password_validate(txt) {
  var val1 = 0;
  var val2 = 0;
  var val3 = 0;
  var val4 = 0;
  var val5 = 0;
  var counter, color, result;
  var flag = false;
  if (txt.value.length <= 0) {
    counter = 0;
    color = "transparent";
    result = "";

Below is a free password strength/policy JQuery plug-in validator. It is also supports validation of passwords entered in multiple languages (supported in Unicode). It is multilingual.

</div>

Script

$(function(){
$("#pwd").complexify({}, function(valid, complexity){
//console.log("Password complexity: " + Math.round(complexity));
$("#pg").val(Math.round(complexity));
$("#cpx").html(Math.round(complexity)+'%');
});
});

I have found an good design with password validator plugin. let me explain the steps

here is the full code : https://lets-solve.com/jquery-password-validator/

  1. Create HTML file and place password and confirm password field field.

  1. load css

  2. load javascript

  1. Initialize the plugin

    var password_validator = new PasswordValidator();

Thats it, now password matcher will show error message if both passwords not match.

How to compare & validate password while submiting form/click on button?

var password_validator = new PasswordValidator();

// to check password criteria is matching, if yes than it will return true otherwise returns false var is_valid = password_validator.is_valid();

// to check both passwords are matching or not var is_match = password_validator.match_confirm_password();

implementation for scoring based on variation, mess and length:

function scorePass(pass) {  
    let score = 0;
    
    // variation range
    score += new Set(pass.split("")).size * 1;
    const charCodes = [...new Set(pass.split(''))].map(x=>x.toLowerCase().charCodeAt(0));

    // shuffle score - bonus for messing things up
    for (let i=1; i < charCodes.length;i++)
    {
        const dist = Math.abs(charCodes[i-1]-charCodes[i]);
        if (dist>60)
            score += 15;
        else if (dist>8)
            score += 10;
        else if (dist>1)
            score += 2;
    }
    
    // bonus for length
    score += (pass.length - 6) * 3;

    return parseInt(score);
}
