How Secure Is My Password? jQuery Plugin
Now you can use the howsecureismypassword.net password strength meter on your own sites.
About
Rather then just saying a password is "weak" or "strong", How Secure is My Password? lets your users know how long it would take someone to crack their password. It also checks against the top 10,000 most common passwords as well as a number of other checks (such as repeated strings, telephone numbers, and words followed by numbers).
