🔐 Password Strength Checker

A web-based Password Strength Checker built using Python Flask.
It evaluates user-entered passwords and ranks them as Weak, Moderate, or Strong based on advanced rules like length, use of uppercase/lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.

🚀 Features

• Instant feedback on password strength
• Clear UI for user input and results
• Uses Flask as the backend framework
• Score logic:
  • Weak: Less than 8 characters
  • Moderate: 8–11 characters with basic mix
  • Strong: 12+ characters with uppercase, lowercase, digits, and symbols

⚙️ Technologies Used

• Python 3
• Flask (Micro web framework)
• HTML/CSS (Frontend)

🖥️ How It Works

The app uses a function to evaluate a password and assigns points based on the following:

• ✅ Length of password
• ✅ Use of lowercase letters
• ✅ Use of uppercase letters
• ✅ Use of digits
• ✅ Use of special characters like !@#$%^&*()

The total score determines the strength:

• score >= 5 → Strong
• score 3-4 → Moderate
• score < 3 → Weak
