It checks the following aspects of a password:\n\n- **Length**\n- **Uppercase and lowercase characters**\n- **Numbers**\n- **Special characters**\n- **Commonly used passwords**\n\nThe password strength is categorized as **\"Weak\"**, **\"Medium\"**, or **\"Strong\"**, and the user is provided with actionable suggestions to improve the password.\n\n---\n\n## **Features**\n\n- **Password Evaluation**: Checks the strength of a password based on multiple criteria.\n- **Suggestions for Improvement**: Provides specific feedback to enhance password security.\n- **Common Password Check**: Verifies if the password is commonly used and vulnerable to attacks.\n\n---\n\n## **How It Works**\n\nThe tool evaluates a password based on the following criteria:\n\n1. **Length**: Passwords shorter than 8 characters are considered weak.\n2. **Character Diversity**: Passwords must include a mix of:\n   - Uppercase letters (`A-Z`)\n   - Lowercase letters (`a-z`)\n   - Numbers (`0-9`)\n   - Special characters (`!@#$%^\u0026*()`)\n3. **Common Passwords**: The tool checks if the password is in a list of commonly used passwords.\n\nBased on these checks, the tool assigns a strength rating and provides suggestions for improvement.\n\n---\n\n## **Installation**\n\n### **Prerequisites**\n- Python 3.x installed on your system.\n\n### **Steps**\n1. Clone the repository:\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/hetrox8/password-strength-checker.git\n   cd password-strength-checker\n   ```\n\n2. Install dependencies (if any):\n   ```bash\n   pip install -r requirements.txt\n   ```\n\n3. Run the tool:\n   ```bash\n   python -m streamlit run app.py\n   ```\n\n---\n\n## **Usage**\n\n1. **Run the Script**:\n   ```bash\n   python password_checker.py\n   ```\n![Password Strength Checker Example](image.png)\n![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0aeb41cd-1960-4534-a252-09bdb827a205)\n![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/366f7617-f45a-4b71-a5a9-7a8fe13cae7a)\n2. **Enter Your Password**:\n   When prompted, enter the password you want to check.\n\n3. **View Results**:\n   The tool will display the password strength and suggestions for improvement.\n\n### **Example**\n```plaintext\nEnter your password: Suleiman\nPassword Strength: Weak\nSuggestions:\n- Add at least one number.\n- Add at least one special character.\n```\n\n---\n\n## **Code Structure**\n\nThe project consists of the following files:\n\n- `password_checker.py`: The main script for evaluating password strength.\n- `common_passwords.txt`: A list of commonly used passwords for comparison.\n- `README.md`: Project documentation (this file).\n\n---\n\n## **How to Contribute**\n\nContributions are welcome!
