KoolInputFullVersion 1.7.0.0 released on 10/22/2012

One of great things about KoolPasswordTextBox is the built-in password strength indicator.

Simply by setting $txtPassword->ShowIndicator = true;, you already have the indicator showing up everytime user types in password.

To calculate strength of password, KoolPasswordTextBox base on:

• 1. Length of password.
• 2. Number of numeric characters.
• 3. Number of upper-case characters.
• 4. Number of symbol characters such as "%#*$"

In order to set above, you use :

• 1. $PreferredPasswordLength
• 2. $MinimumNumericCharacters
• 3. $MinimumUpperCaseCharacters
• 4. $MinimumSymbolCharacters

In order to set weight on each of above items, you use $CalculationWeightings property:
For example:
$txtPassword->CalculationWeightings="50;15;15;20";
The number are the weight of above items respectively. Length of password: 50%. Numeric character: 15%. Upper-case character: 15%; Symbol character: 20%.

You also can customize the indicator text with $TextStrengthDescriptions
For example:
$txtPassword->TextStrengthDescriptions="Very Weak;Weak;Medium;Strong;Very Strong";

Lastly, you can customize the indicator css with $TextStrengthDescriptionStyles
For example:
$txtPassword->TextStrengthDescriptionStyles="cssVeryWeak;cssWeak;cssMedium;cssStrong;cssVeryStrong";
