The plugins site is currently in development.

We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.

ChronoStrength

Submitted by smallhadroncollider on April 24, 2010 - 6:59am

ChronoStrength is a password strength checking plugin. However, rather than just saying "Too Weak" or "Strong", which don't really mean much, ChronoStrength displays how long it would take a regular desktop PC to crack the password using a brute-force attack. Seeing that their password would only take 30 seconds to crack might convince people to choose a more secure one!

Based on the code from http://howsecureismypassword.net/

Usage

ChronoStrength has two interface methods: attaching it to a text/password input or calling the function directly.

Attaching to a text/password input

To use ChronoStrength on password input:

$("input#password").chronoStrength();

By default this will create a new with a class of "chronostrength-box" immediately after the password input.

SnakeCharmer Selection Plugin

About SnakeCharmer

SnakeCharmer is a small and simple plugin for jQuery. It helps you to make logical connected selections of HTML elements. Think of a bunch of options (maybe generated out of some datasets) from which a range of multiple ones (or even a single one) can be selected. A typical example would be a calendar where the user should select some days for his summer leave days. Or, you have a seat plan where a client should select the seats he want to reserve for the weekly sneak peak in the local cinema. Beside that, with SnakeCharmer you easily can restrict the available seats according to the latest booking stand by specifying the initial jQuery selector string to not include elements that use a certain class name (which in turn may be used to visually format already reserved seats). Pragmatic, isn't it? :-)
