This react component aims to improve common issues in password field UX.

1. Password Strength Detection - Using Dropbox's zxcvbn library in real-time, onChange.
2. Timed Password Masking - Best explained in the nngroup article: Stop Password Masking
3. Stateful Class - Know the HTML5 validity of your field by class.

Options (props)

React StrongPassword will work fine with its defaults, but there are configuration options that can help you adapt it to your project's needs.

• statusInactiveColor - bar color for status when the field is empty and not active yet. Default - #C0C0C0.

• minScore - minimum acceptable password strength score, 0 to 4. Default - 0.
• minLength - minimum acceptable password length, chars. Default - 6.
• toggleMask - whether to turn on password masking (true) after a small delay or leave it visible all the time (false). Default - true.
• unMaskTime - password masking delay, in milliseconds since last input event. Default - 1400.
• strengthStages` - an object defining colors and hover tooltips for five levels of password strength. Default:
