Strength

API reference › Bootstrap 6 › Strength

class	`yii2\extensions\bootstrap6\Strength`
Extends	`Widget` » `yii\base\Widget` » `yii\base\Component` » `yii\base\BaseObject`
Implements	`yii\base\ViewContextInterface`, `yii\base\Configurable`
Uses traits	`AttributesTrait`, `BootstrapWidgetTrait`

Renders a Bootstrap password strength meter, segmented or as a single bar, with optional text feedback.

Without $input the plugin evaluates the first input[type="password"] of the parent element, so render the widget next to the password field.
