#8 Password Strength Progress Bar value is only dependant on SpinEdit1

[Gustavo Carreno]

Hi Christopher,

I think you should base your PasswordStrengthMeter() procedure on Length(PasswordNew.Text) and also add a OnChange() to PasswordNew that calls PasswordStrengthMeter().

This way if someone types a password on that TEdit the meter will give them a visual cue on their changes.

Cheers,
Gus

The password strength meter isn't just dependant on the passwords length. Each combination of selected characters is allocated a score which is also taken into account when calculating the strength of the string.
I've moved this to a discussion as I'd appreciate feedback on on a character scoring system.
