Hello, I made a few modifications to the version 1.2 of the plugin to fix that: 1- if a passwords contains one of the common word (for example test=89, 12345bs, etc...) it gets a bad score 2- replaced the regexp for special characters with \W, as this will match more of the possible special characters in passwords... 3- added a regexp to test if the password doesn't contain chains of more than 3 identical alphanumeric: aaa, bbb, 1111, etc... (remove 10 points) 4- test that we don't have the more than 3 consecutive letters (this avoids putting a full dictionary of common words) (remove 5 points) 5- test that we have approximatively the same numbers of letter, numerics and special characters in the password. (add 7 points)
I tagged it version 1.3, but then... It's here: http://6v8.gamboni.org/jquery.pstrength.1.3.js I'll remove it from my site if it's integrated with digitalspaghetti version.
