Strong Password Identifier for new users

How do I get that newer type of registration for my site, that shows the graph if your password is considered to be strong or not.

Also, is there a module I can load into this version of RavenNuke that will force users to change their password upon next login?

I haven't seen a "module" to do this, but there is a phpBB mod that does this. As for phpBB, it adds a function that displays how strong the password is (although I haven't checked the algorithm to determine if it's really meaningful).

If I remember correctly, there might be a function in the CNB-YA 5.0 release that does this, and I think some may have added this function in other Nuke distributions.

alright, well if it isn't something thats quick and easy, how about something to force users to change their password at next login?

Do you mean a function that allows an administrator to force a password change? Are you looking for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance? Again, I think that's something in the CNB YA module, but it's been so long since I looked at the 5.0 beta version, I can't remember...

Yes, I would like to force users upon next login to change their password.
