Password Strength Meter For Angular 18
To display the strength of the password with a visual feedback.
Password Strength Meter use zxcvbn to estimate the strength of the password and also provide a visual feedback with suggestions and warning messages.
This lib was developed based on the following tutorial.
How then is password strength measured? Dropbox developed an algorithm for a realistic password strength estimator inspired by password crackers. This algorithm is packaged in a Javascript library called zxcvbn. In addition, the package contains a dictionary of commonly used English words, names and passwords.

<password-strength-meter [password]="password"></password-strength-meter>
Get Started
Step 1: npm install (For Angular v18)
npm install @zxcvbn-ts/core@^3.0.0 @zxcvbn-ts/language-en@^3.0.0 angular-password-strength-meter --save
For Angular v15
npm install @zxcvbn-ts/core@^3.0.0 @zxcvbn-ts/language-en@^3.0.0 angular-password-strength-meter@^8.0.0 --save
Optional Packages: zxcvbn packagase are not required if PasswordStrengthMeterModule is using with a custom implementation of IPasswordStrengthMeterService .
Step 2: Use the provideZxvbnServiceForPSM in appConfig
....
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
import { provideZxvbnServiceForPSM } from '@wise-community/angular-password-strength-meter/zxcvbn';
....
export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
providers: [provideZxvbnServiceForPSM()],
};
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, appConfig).catch((err) =>
console.error(err)
);
Step 3: Import the PasswordStrengthMeterComponent component in your app.component.ts
....
import { PasswordStrengthMeterComponent } from '@wise-community/angular-password-strength-meter';
....
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
standalone: true,
imports: [
CommonModule,
PasswordStrengthMeterComponent,
],
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss'],
})
export class AppComponent {
password: string = '';
}
Step 4: use the password-strength-meter component in your app.component.html
<password-strength-meter [password]="password" enableFeedback />
Use custom zxcvbn options for the password strength meter
You can override the default zxcvbn options by providing the config to provideZxvbnServiceForPSM(config?: ZxvbnConfigType)
....
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
import { translations } from '@zxcvbn-ts/language-en';
import { provideZxvbnServiceForPSM, ZxvbnConfigType } from 'angular-password-strength-meter/zxcvbn';
....
const zxvbnConfig: ZxvbnConfigType = {
translations: translations,
};
export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
providers: [provideZxvbnServiceForPSM(zxvbnConfig)],
};
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, appConfig).catch((err) =>
console.error(err)
);
Refer to the zxcvbn documentation for more information.
Use custom password strength meter service
You can override the default password strength meter service by providing the Custom Service class
....
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { IPasswordStrengthMeterService } from 'angular-password-strength-meter';
@Injectable()
export class CustomPsmServiceService extends IPasswordStrengthMeterService {
score(password: string): number {
// TODO - return score 0 - 4 based on password
return 1;
}
scoreWithFeedback(password: string): FeedbackResult {
// TODO - return score with feedback
return { score: 1, feedback: { warning: '', suggestions: [] } };
}
scoreAsync(password: string): Promise<number> {
// TODO - do some async operation
return new Promise();
}
scoreWithFeedbackAsync(password: string): Promise<FeedbackResult> {
// TODO - do some async operation
return new Promise();
}
}
....
@Component({
selector: 'app-custom-service',
standalone: true,
imports: [CommonModule, FormsModule, PasswordStrengthMeterComponent],
providers: [
{
provide: IPasswordStrengthMeterService,
useClass: CustomPsmServiceService,
},
],
templateUrl: './custom-service.component.html',
styleUrl: './custom-service.component.scss',
})
export class CustomServiceComponent {
text: string = '';
score: number | null = null;
public onPasswordStrengthChange(score: number | null) {
this.score = score;
}
}
