Remember last we talked about Ajax Password Strength Meter by Code and Coffee which is not very useful because of the bad algorithm. Today we have a JQuery Password Strength Meter which is a small plug in that provides an easy way to show the strength of a users password as well. The algorithm seems to be a lot better than the last one and the Author said he is still improving the algorithm. JQuery Password Strength Meter provides some simple options that allow you to customize the output. You can define the strength of the meter easily by adjusting the score for each requirement.

Multi-color sIFR (Scalable Inman Flash Replacement) is a technology that allows you to replace text elements on screen with Flash equivalents with colors. sIFR is a DOM replacement method originally conceived by Shaun Inman and turned into a high quality cross-browser, cross-platform typography solution for the masses.
sIFR allows website headings, pull-quotes and other elements to be styled in whatever font the designer chooses without the user having it installed on their machine.
Multi-color sFIR implementation is easy – just add sEmColor:”#FF4400″, sStrongColor:”#FF0000″ and sSpanColor:”#EE6600″ into your named argument call function at the bottom of the .html file and if the script finds a <strong>, <em> or <span> elements, each one will be colored3. And they can be nested, too.
Requirements: Browsers required Flash

Password Strength Meters are becoming more and more popular amongst web services. Google uses one when creating a Google account. The password strength meters wil be updated for every key input the user types. So how does one go about making one of these meters? Code and Coffee created one for us, it calculates how many different combinations there are for the password you enter, then determine how many days it would take to crack your password. The algorithm returns a percentage that he then in turn convert to a nice GUI for the end user to see.
