A lightweight Vue 3 password strength meter component under 1kb, using vanilla JavaScript and regex validation.
Vue Simple Password Meter is a Vue 3 component that visually indicates password strength in real-time. It solves the need for a lightweight, customizable password meter without relying on heavy libraries like zxcvbn, using regex-based validation instead.
Vue 3 developers building login/registration forms who need a minimal, performant password strength indicator.
Developers choose it for its tiny size (under 1kb), Vue 3 compatibility, and easy customization via CSS, avoiding the overhead of larger password validation libraries.

At less than 1kb minified and gzipped, it ensures minimal impact on bundle size and fast load times, as explicitly stated in the README.
Built specifically for Vue 3 with Composition API support, making it easy to integrate into modern Vue applications without compatibility issues.
Provides CSS classes for each strength level (e.g., .po-password-strength-bar.risky), allowing developers to easily style the visual feedback bar to match their design system.
Emits a numeric score (0–4) and strength label (risky to secure), enabling straightforward real-time form validation and user feedback, as shown in the usage examples.
Relies solely on regex patterns, which may not accurately assess password entropy or detect common passwords, unlike more advanced dictionary-based libraries like zxcvbn.
Requires custom CSS for styling, adding development overhead compared to alternatives with pre-built themes or more extensive styling options.
Strength labels are hardcoded in English with no built-in support for other languages, limiting usability in global applications without additional work.
