My PHP Password Security Checker!

What I meant was if it wasnt used in registration could it be set to have just on entry field? I am thinking of its use as just a handy utility for checking password strentgh, not necessarily related to signing up for anything

I see, well of course.

Only abit of the code would need adjusting,

I'll try tomorrow.

Looking forward to it.

I'll integrate it into vB tommorow - i'll throw you a link

I'd like to see this placed more as an 'on-demand' addition to a form rather than always being included. Simply because it's not adding any functionality, it's just a handy little helper program.

Personally, I'd have gone the JavaScript route myself. That saves multiple server-client round trips, would provide pretty much instantaneous feedback, is much more easy to stick into existing forms, don't require iframes... the list goes on. All that is being done are simple RegExp (and string length) checks which are just as simple to do in JS as PHP.

That said, well done for getting this out there and to all those who use it, I'm sure it will be helpful.

The reason I did it in PHP was because I don't know Javascript/AJAX.

Trust me I would have loved to have done it that way.

Btw, my friend ahs hosted it: http://liamharrison.net/secure/index.php

Try!

Ok well I've been working on an update:
www.checkyourpass.com

Improvements include:
Allows all characters,
Checks for common dictionary words (out of about 1000 words).

nice script man . love it .

pm me when you get a chance i wanna talk to you

Edit .. yes i was +/rep you also .

Yum, that's nice. Certainly makes signups look a lot better imo.

Good work // +rep (if we had reps)

Thanks guys, it means alot that people like it .

I shall PM you tomorrow Conrad, as I'm going to bed now!
