Password Strength Meter extension for Magento
Password strength meter extension for Magento helps customers to check if their password is strong enough. It displays hints and block which visualizes the password strength with an appropriate color (red > orange > yellow > green > dark green).
Why is it important to have this functionality?
Web shops are dealing with personal data, and sometimes even credit card details. Therefore, today requires from store owners to ensure the protection of the information received from the client.
You can not allow your customers to be reckless. Password strength meter extension provides useful tips, and helps users to create a secure password (if the current password is too simple). Password requirements appear on the fly so that customers don’t have to click on the “Register” button all the time to verify the registration form, thus making a sign-up process simpler and faster. Our extension reminds customers about the importance of a strong and long password.
