Password strength checker in HTML, CSS, and Javascript

Hello friends, today in this blog, we will learn how to create a password strength checker in HTML, CSS, and Javascript. In our previous blog, we saw how to create a random password generator in HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Now it's time to create a password strength checker. If you are interested, you can check my other javascript projects here.

The password strength checker checks the password that which user has entered and indicates the strength of the password it also indicates the password can be hacked by hackers or not. It has a meter that checks the user-entered password including a full combination of symbols, numbers, uppercase, and lowercase letters.

This design [Password strength checker] has a container or box in that it has a title and an input box with a type of password and last but not least a message. When you start typing it changes its input and message color according to the strength of the password. It has a password show or hides toggler also.

If you are feeling difficulty understanding what am I trying to say? So you can check the source code and preview it as well.
