Basic usage

$( 'input' ).passy(function( strength, valid ) {

	// Set color basd on validness and strength
	if( valid ) {
		if( strength < $.passy.strength.HIGH ) {
			color = 'orange';
		} else {
			color = 'green';
		}
	} else {
		color = 'red';
	}

	$( this ).css( 'background-color', color );
});

Configuration

Before calling .passy(), you can alter these settings:

// Requirements a inserted password should meet
$.passy.requirements = {

	// Character types a password should contain
	characters: [
		$.passy.character.DIGIT,
		$.passy.character.LOWERCASE,
		$.passy.character.UPPERCASE,
		$.passy.character.PUNCTUATION
	],

	// A minimum and maximum length
	length: {
		min: 8,
		max: Infinity
	}
};


// Thresholds are numeric values representing
// the estimated amount of days for a single computer
// to brute force the password, assuming it processes
// about 1,000,000 passwords per second

$.passy.threshold = {
	medium: 365,
	high: Math.pow( 365, 2 ),
	extreme: Math.pow( 365, 5 )
};

Methods

Generate a password of a specific length:

$( 'input' ).passy( 'generate', 16 );

Check if a field’s content is valid:

if(
	$( 'input' ).passy( 'valid' )
) { ... }
