This installment of Easy PHP Projects shows how to create password generators and strength meters for PHP websites and applications. Like other courses in the series, it presents small-scale PHP projects for PHP beginners and experienced developers looking to practice their skills. Series author Kevin Skoglund shows how to build a password generator that randomizes strings; a more user-friendly generator that combines random dictionary words and numbers; and a color-coded strength meter that tests passwords on factors such as character variation and length.
