Subject: Re: Password Strength Graphic
Should be easy to do. You check the password for various criteria,
and then do a JS rollover to change the image out. Some basic
criteria are the number of character classes (uppercase, lowercase,
numbers, punctuation) the password uses, the length of the password,
whether it has dictionary words in it (apple), whether it's based on
dictionary words (4pp13). You can probably figure out what
Hotmail's algorithm is by some simple trial and error, or maybe even
looking at the source.

I was just signing up for a Hotmail account (yikes) because someone
mentioned the password strength graphic on it and I wanted to see it.
It is a graphical representation of how strong of a password you are
creating. Low Medium Strong
Has anyone created something like this before? Any pointers on where to
start?
Thanks.
