The Password Strength Checker is a Chrome Extension designed to evaluate the strength of user passwords. This project helped me apply principles of cybersecurity and improve my programming skills by creating a useful security tool.
Project Overview
Project Overview
Purpose: Provide users with an instant analysis of their password strength.
Technology Used: JavaScript, HTML, CSS
Key Features:
Real-time password strength analysis
Evaluation based on length, character diversity, and common password patterns
Provides actionable suggestions for improving password strength
How It Works
How It Works
The application uses a scoring system to evaluate passwords. It checks for various security factors, including:
Length Check: Ensures passwords meet a minimum character requirement.
Character Variety: Encourages a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters.
Common Password Detection: Compares against a database of common passwords to flag insecure choices.
The program then outputs a strength rating (e.g., Weak, Moderate, Strong) and recommendations for improvement.
Challenges and Solutions
Challenges and Solutions
Balancing Accuracy: Designed a scoring algorithm that fairly evaluates password strength without being overly strict.
Performance Optimization: Efficiently handled large password datasets using optimized search algorithms.
User Feedback: Provided clear, actionable feedback for users to create stronger passwords.
Future Improvements
Future Improvements
Integrate with a web-based UI for broader accessibility.
Implement real-time password strength checking in registration forms.
Expand the password dictionary for more comprehensive analysis.
