cpanel pw strength outside of cpanel?

[Mr_Butter]

I have a script which allows users to change their email passwords. Is there a way to include the cpanel password strength bar in that page? I played around for a bit to include some of the JS but it was a no-go.

Right now a lot of users submit the form but the pw doesnt get changed because it isnt strong enough (but the site isnt telling them how strong it is...)

Any way to get this done?

You might do better digging up some open source code from google.

app => string
this is the name of the application that the minimum strength is being checked for.

alternatively via the xml-api:

<cpanelresult>
  <apiversion>2</apiversion>
  <data>
    <strength>10</strength>
  </data>
  <event>
    <result>1</result>
  </event>
  <func>get_required_strength</func>
  <module>PasswdStrength</module>
</cpanelresult>
