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.

fsOverlay plugin

Submitted by vascanera on April 12, 2010 - 9:51am

Very small, simple and effective overlay plugin that simply displays custom HTML content in a box (DIV) centered inside an overlay (covering the whole client area of the browser).
There are some simple options that can be changed to accomodate common needs (like z-index, background color of container and content, fade-in / fade-out time, DOM IDs for container and content, opacity).
Of course, you can also use CSS to style the container and content.

I hope you enjoy it! I sure do!

If it's not simple, it's not worth it! ;)

Chroma-Hash: A sexy, non-reversable live visualization of password field input

In a tweet: Chroma-Hash is a jQuery plugin that dynamically visualizes secure text-field values using ambient color bars

Password entry can be frustrating, especially with long or difficult passwords. On a webpage, secure fields obscure your input with •'s, so others can't read it. Unfortunately, neither can you—you can't tell if you got your password right until you click "Log In".
