At some point, it would be nice to have a password generator for those users creating a global login.

One element could evaluate the strength of a password the user submits. The other element could generate a strong password for the user. ProBoards could set a minimum strength allowable but the user could choose which to use.

This would make it much harder for crackers to get into multiple forums.

My attachment shows what I have in mind.

We do intend to assist people with the strength of their passwords. However we also respect the freedom of being able to use your own password. Currently we require a minimum of six characters and we recommend you use both letters and numbers. Beyond that we find it very rude and inconveniencing when websites force you to absurd password standards. We will give them an idea of their password strength though. We've done this before and will do so in v5.

Don't forget that logins are private in v5 and logging in is now on our secure server making it even stronger than just a persons password alone.

If you're using Headers & Footers, you're doing it wrong.
