jQuery Password Validation Plugin

The jQuery Password Validation Plugin can do multiple operations.

It can tell the user if the password and the "re-type password" fields match, it can tell if the password is too similar to the username, and it can show a password strength meter next to the password field itself.

These operations and their result can be used to block the submission operation of a form, and force the user to enter correct data in the fields, or improve the overall site password policy by making users choose better passwords for their accounts.

The plugin is also l10n-ready and comes and comes with a few basic examples to show developers how it can be implemented.

Requirements:

• JavaScript enabled on client side
• jQuery 1.2.6 or higher
• jQuery Validation Plugin 1.5 or higher
