How we can create a password validator program using bootstrap and JS? Solution: See this Bootstrap Password Strength Validation Checker, Bootstrap & jQuery.
Previously I have shared some Password Strength Checker program, but this program is based on Bootstrap UI. Basically, nowadays most of the website is based on bootstrap because of its responsive design feature, even most of the WordPress themes are based on it. And bootstrap has it own prebuilt password validation feature for helping the user to choose a strong password. There are many examples they have given on their website, this is also one of them with some modifications.
Today you will learn to create a Bootstrap and jQuery based password validator for forms like signup and change password. Basically, there is a heading, a password input field, a button with an eye closed/open icon, some texts, a progress bar, and a submit button. The show and hide button have an eye icon on the right side of the password input. By clicking it you can show and hide characters and below the input, there is some text to tell the user what type of pass they have to choose. And the progress bar will tell the password strength and it will change color, fill-percentage, and text according to the password.
So, Today I am sharing Bootstrap Password Strength Validation Checker. There I have used the bootstrap library for creating the program. And as we know Bootstrap can’t run without jQuery that’s why there I have linked jQuery also. The whole UI style is based on bootstrap, there are very less custom CSS. You can use this validator program on your project.
If you are thinking now how this validation program actually is, then see the preview given below.
Preview Of Password Validator With Progress Bar
See this video preview to getting an idea of how this program looks like.
Now you can see this visually, also you can see it live by pressing the button given above. If you like this then get the source code of its.

Bootstrap Password Strength Validation Checker Source Code
Before sharing source code, let’s talk about it. First I have created the layout using the bootstrap grid system and pre-built class names. There are many pre-built class and ID names for creating programs and elements easily because it is a library of HTML CSS JS. Also in the HTML file, I have linked other files like CSS, JS, Bootstrap CDN, and jQuery CDN.
Now using CSS I have done a few things like the width of the program, button color, margin, padding, etc. Because this program is based on a library that’s why there are very few lines of CSS codes. Also, I have used a google font for the heading and other texts. Other all styles are based on bootstrap CSS.
JS handling the main part or feature of this program, and some features are based on bootstrap’s JS file. Inside the JavaScript file, I have created the validation program. First I have declared characters which should be in password to make it strong, I have created 3 sections of it first for telling the extra strong, strong, and moderate pass strength. Now the password strength show and the progress bar is based on JS if{} else{} statements, it will react according to putted characters in the input field.
Left all other things you will understand after getting the codes, I can’t explain all in writing. For creating this program, you have to create 3 files. First file for HTML, second for CSS, and the third file for JavaScript. Follow the steps to creating this without any error.
index.html
Create an HTML file named ‘index.html‘ and put these codes given below.
