Test a password?

Question

Hello,&nbsp;I test a password with following site :&nbsp;&nbsp;http://www.passwordmeter.com/&nbsp;I would like to not use the site but a DLL library or others.Do you have a solution?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi,
&nbsp;
What do you need this for?
Are you developing / testing a software that measures password complexity?
Great article to consider: http://www.soapui.org/testing-dojo/best-practices/methods-for-deciding-what-to-test.html
&nbsp;
In general: TestComplete does not have this functionality, so you will have either to code it yourself or use some third-party component.

Do you know " third-party component"?

alexkaras · Answer

No, I don't. (Mostly, because this kind of check was always out of scope in our testing.)

Because you could write code in&nbsp;TC or use a vbscript or javascript to automate&nbsp;the process so that it programaitcally inputs the password to run the check?&nbsp;Option Explicit

Const CSTR_URL = "http://www.passwordmeter.com/"

Dim appIE : Set appIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
Dim pswd : pswd = "A_1!@#%c2"
Dim ieDoc, input, output

With appIE
&nbsp; .ToolBar = 1
&nbsp; .StatusBar = 1
&nbsp; .Visible = 1
&nbsp; .Navigate CSTR_URL
End With

' Important: wait till User can interact
While appIE.Busy appIE.readyState &lt;&gt; 4
  WScript.Sleep 375
Wend

'&lt;input type="text" id="passwordTxt" name="passwordTxt" autocomplete="off" onkeyup="chkPass(this.value);" class="hide" /&gt;
Set ieDoc = appIE.document
Set input = ieDoc.getElementById("passwordTxt")
input.Value = pswd
input.Click()
WScript.Sleep 775
Set output = ieDoc.getElementById("score")

'display the 'score'
WScript.Echo output.Value
