Compatiblity
This plugin was originally created in 2010 for jQuery 1.14, and the current release has been tested under jQuery 1, 2 & 3.
It should work in all browsers (even IE 666).
Testing
First you'll need to grab the code, as the npm version does not come with the source files:
git clone https://github.com/elboletaire/password-strength-meter.gitcd password-strength-meternpm installnpm test
Note: tests are just run using jQuery 3.
Why?
Why another library? Well, I found this on March 11th (of 2017) cleaning up my documents folder and noticed I made it in 2010 and never published it, so I decided to refactor it "a bit" (simply remade it from the ground-up) and publish it, so others can use it.
