Complexify is a free but useful jQuery plugin which lets you to accurately gauge the quality of a user's password to give them visual feedback, and to enforce a minimum level of security.

Many websites give an indicator of how secure a password is, and require a minimum standard of security. However this is always poorly implemented with rules such as 'must require a number' even if the password is 30 characters long and clearly very secure. Often the only requirement is a minimum number of characters, a very poor indicator of password strength.

Complexify calculates a rating for the password based on how difficult it would be to brute-force it. What does this actually mean?

• If I have an 8 character password that only uses lower case characters, it's not good enough and I will need to make it better.
• But if I have a 25 character password that happens to not have a number in it, I am not going to be forced to add one.

Complexify's default settings will enforce a level of complexity that would mean brute-forcing should take ~600 years on a commodity desktop machine. The 'perfect' password used to scale the complexity percentage would take 3x10^33 years.

Filtrify is a handy open source plugin for advanced tag filtering, inspired by Chosen multiple select feature and Orman Clark’s Vertical Navigation Menu. This free plugin developed by Luís Almeida, lets you search tags within the tags, filter items by multiple tags from different categories, and get a live feedback on the number of items containing related tags.

How Filtrify Works

Filtrify makes use of the new HTML5 "data" attribute to store the metadata. All you have to do is include a "data" attribute for each item in your list with the respective tags (metadata). If you have more than one category of tags, include them in another "data" attribute. You can add as much categories of tags as you need.

Filtrify will then go through all the data attributes you included in your items and it will create a search menu with as many fields as the different number of categories (data-attributes) you provided. Each field label in the menu fires a "popup" filtering panel and there's where all the magic happens.
The plugin instanciation is very simple, you just have to pass a "containerID" and a "placeHolderID" which is the ID of the element where you want to place the menu.
