This is the code for the website

This is what the website is supposed to look like
Inspiration
I saw a video on YouTube where someone (channel name: howCode) made a password checker and we wanted to see if we could recreate it. Also, we know how big of a problem identity theft is and having strong passwords helps create a line of defense to make identity theft less likely.
What it does
This website measures the strength of a password given the contents of the password (capital letters, symbols, numbers, etc.) and visually shows the user the strength with a bar.
How we built it
We used Atom and HTML and javascript to build it.
Challenges we ran into
When we were coding, the bar never moved so then we tried to use colored boxes to show the strength and those did not work either and it seemed like no matter how we coded it, the visual effect never worked.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud that we even produced something due to the fact that both Leah and I have limited coding experience.
What we learned
We learned that, while sometimes tedious, coding can be fun and we learned some of the main attributes of HTML, javascript, and CSS.
What's next for Password Strength Checker
We hope to eventually be able to show what exactly is missing from the password and explain why a user's password is not strong enough.
