Password Bar Enhancement

[frances-sepulveda]

Objective:

Enhance the password strength indicator bar to improve user experience and provide accurate feedback on password strength during account creation or password updates.

Description:

Currently, the password strength indicator bar appears red by default, even when no characters are entered in the password field. This can be confusing for users and does not provide helpful feedback until they start typing. To enhance usability and clarity, we aim to modify the password strength indicator to only appear once the user begins entering characters in the password field.

Implementation:

To implement the enhancement to the password strength indicator bar, we will update the existing JavaScript code responsible for handling password input events. The process involves the following steps:

Initial State:

Configure the password strength indicator bar to be hidden by default when the page loads, ensuring that it does not appear until the user starts typing in the password field.

Event Listener:

Attach an event listener to the password input field to detect when the user begins entering characters.

Show Indicator:

When the user starts typing in the password field, dynamically display the password strength indicator bar to provide real-time feedback on password strength.

Hide Indicator:

If the user deletes all characters from the password field, hide the password strength indicator bar again to avoid cluttering the interface when no password is entered.

Front-End Integration:

Ensure that the user interface reflects the changes by displaying the password strength indicator bar only when the user interacts with the password field.

Testing and Validation:

Thoroughly test the enhanced password strength indicator functionality to ensure it behaves as expected in various scenarios, including typing, deleting characters, and switching between input fields.

Validate that the indicator appears and disappears appropriately based on user input and provides accurate feedback on password strength.

Error Handling:

Implement error handling mechanisms to handle edge cases, such as unexpected behavior when interacting with the password field, and provide clear feedback to users if any issues arise.
