Description
An extension for phpBB that will show users the strength of a password as they type it into the password field when creating or updating their account.

Password Strength Tests:
Password Strength offers two types of strength checking models to choose from:
  • Complexity:
    A simple test to check for complexity in a password by looking for a mix of characters, case, symbols, numbers and length. This is useful for encouraging hard to remember complex passwords.
  • zxcvbn algorithm:
    An algorithm originally developed for DropBox that calculates the guess-ability of a password by comparing it to a large dictionary of common words from multiple languages as well as looking for recognizable word patterns. This is a more robust strength checker that allows for user-friendly passwords that are easy to remember but still hard to guess. A Very Strong result represents a password that could take a computer years to centuries to guess.
Features:
  • Password field changes colors from red (weak) to green (strong) as the user types in a password.
  • Password strength is labeled as 'Very Weak', 'Weak', 'Good', 'Strong' and 'Very Strong'.
  • Works on all new password fields (new user registration and changing passwords)
  • Set up Password Strength in the ACP User registration settings -> Password strength type.
  • Multiple languages supported.
  • The zxcvbn algorithm also displays user feedback about the password with support for Brazilian, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Polish and Spanish.
