PasswordStrengthIndicator widget

The Magento password strength indicator widget provides immediate feedback on the validity and strength of a password while it is being typed. If the password is not strong enough, Magento prompts the user to choose a new password.

The PasswordStrengthIndicator widget can be used only on the frontend area.

The password strength indicator widget source is <Magento_Customer_module_dir>/view/frontend/web/js/password-strength-indicator.js.

The widget is being used in the following templates:

• <Magento_Customer_module_dir>/view/frontend/templates/form/register.phtml customer register template.
• <Magento_Customer_module_dir>/view/frontend/templates/form/forgotpassword.phtml customer forgot password template.
• <Magento_Customer_module_dir>/view/frontend/templates/form/edit.phtml customer account edit template.

To initialize the widget in your script, use the following general notation:

$('#password-input').passwordStrengthIndicator({
    <option1>: <value1>,
    <option2>: <value2>,
    ...
});

Where:
