This is better than pretty much all similar projects I've seen. Might implement it somewhere. My usual password for sites gets 46%, which I guess I'm fine with.. The password I use for my TrueCrypt password easily gets to 100%, so I'm cool with that.

I was annoyed that my password (which would take ~1x10^30 years to brute force) gets a low score on every site with one of these because it doesn't contain a number.

This is my answer. Passwords are judged on their complexity properly rather than a naïve interpretation of complexity.

If you do implement it somewhere, let me know where. Also fork and contribute if you want.
