A simple web application built with Flask that evaluates the strength of user passwords and suggests improvements. The application checks various criteria to determine password strength and provides feedback to users.
- Evaluates password strength based on length, character variety (uppercase, lowercase, digits, special characters).
- Provides feedback on whether the password is Weak, Okay, Good, or Strong.
- User-friendly interface for easy interaction.
Python: The programming language used for backend development.
Flask: A lightweight web framework for building web applications.
HTML/CSS: For creating the frontend user interface.
Regular Expressions: For validating password criteria.
-Prerequisites Make sure you have Python installed on your machine. You can download it from python.org.
-Steps to Install
-
Clone the Repository
apt updateapt install git -ygit clone https://github.com/Joe6001/Password-Strength-Checker-Flask/cd Password_Strength_Checker-Flask -
Create a virtual environment(optional but recommended):
python -m venv "any-name-you-want"source venv/bin/activateOn Windows use venv\Scripts\activate -
Install Flask
pip install flask -
Run the Applicatiom

Open your web browser and go tohttp://127.0.0.1:5000`.`
- Enter a password in the input field.
- Click the "Check Strength" button.
- The application will display the strength of your password based on predefined criteria.
The main logic for evaluating password strength is implemented in the password_strength function, which checks for:
- Minimum length (8 characters)
- Presence of uppercase letters
- Presence of lowercase letters
- Presence of digits
- Presence of special characters
The function returns a score that determines the strength category of the password.
