Abstract
Password Strength Checker is an open-source Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking project. Password-strength-checker. A futuristic Password Strength Checker with a clean mecha-themed UI. This lightweight web app lets users evaluate how strong their password is and get instant feedback. It is built using JavaScript. Key capabilities include: Mecha-inspired design with glowing neon accents; Single password input with show/hide toggle; Strength score displayed with emoji: Weak, Moderate, Strong. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the MIT License, making it a useful reference for students building a Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking mini project or final-year project.
