Hey friends, today I will show how to make a powerful password strength checker to be added in sign up forms like the photo above. Do check out my video tutorial below:


What is this project? Using this project, you can check the strength of a password. We can also add this when a user is creating their account to ensure they are making a safe password. If the conditions are not met, it will not allow the password to be submitted.


For this project, paste the code below in your HTML file: 

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

/* Style the submit button */
input[type=submit] {

}

// When the user starts to type something inside the password field

    length.classList.add("valid");
  } else {
    length.classList.remove("valid");
    length.classList.add("invalid");
  }
}
</script>

</body>

And that's all. Thanks for reading and I hope this project was useful.
