Only something like 'fG4%$GFhfghnRT356' seems to be a strong password ;) Haha, damn, that’s one tough meter. Only something like ‘fG4%$GFhfghnRT356′ seems to be a strong password ;)

I will make some changes to the script so that your pass has to be of less strenght. Hi Martijn,

Full strength can be achieved in 7 characters. I tend to use pass phrases as passwords - these can be 20-40 characters in length and despite the absence of numerals would be far more resistant to a brute-force cracking attempt than a short mixed string. e.g. in my opinion, "Life is like a box of chocolates!" is cryptographically far stronger than "qQ123$%" Your script disagrees with me however, giving the former a score of around 40% and the latter a score of 100%.

I would assume it does since it's on "ajaxorized.com". One question though... Will it pass PCI compliance? Pretty scary stuff!! So, does this make an asynchronous call back to the server?
