My ‘Flex’ible Experiments

Flex Password Strength Meter

with 6 comments

I did a simple Password Strength meter in flex . It is based on the existing ProgressBar component in flex . It has a target property which is the password input textbox. Whenever the text in the password input changes , password strength is calculated using regular expressions and the progress bar is updated.

This is an experiment and if anyone know a better idea , leave a reply here

  2. Hi,

    I will make the code little neat and enable ViewSource so that you can see the code

  3. Can’t see the code still – could you make your .mxml and .as files available for download?

  6. If you use regular expressions to test for the likely size of the character set, then correlate that with the “information entropy” of the set, you can get a standard measurement of password strength.
