Hi,
Password Strength meter does not come directly from Easy Profile but it is a hidden Joomla feature. The code that load the script is in file at /layouts/joomla/form/field/password.php at line 49

Layout files are overridable from the template, so probably your template have removed the line that load Password Strength meter.

If you use helix then you may find to delete (or rename) file at /templates/your-template-folder/html/layouts/joomla/form/field/password.php

Morning
Thank you for the quick response.
I have looked at the code and they have improved how the filed and strength meter works. However, it does not work.

Kind regards
David

Hi,
the Strength meter does not works because the password layout is overwritten by the template that does not load the correct file

the password layout (/layouts/joomla/form/field/password.php) from Joomla load the javascript at line 49 with this code:
JHtml::_('script', 'system/passwordstrength.js', array('version' => 'auto', 'relative' => true, 'framework' => true));


instead the template at file /templates/your-template-folder/html/layouts/joomla/form/field/password.php load at line 16 this code:
JHtml::_('script', 'system/fields/passwordstrength.min.js', array('version' => 'auto', 'relative' => true));


but the file system/fields/passwordstrength.min.js does not exists, so the path seems not correct (correct is system/passwordstrength.min.js)

Hi @sjb1963,
in this topic the solution is not a protected content:
try to delete or rename the file at /templates/your-template-folder/html/layouts/joomla/form/field/password.php
If this solution works mean that the template have a small bug because the override call a javascript file from a wrong path.

Anyway for any support request we invite you to open a new topic.
