What are the affected if input with wrong symbols

[alfangr]

I just want to know what the effect is if I enter the wrong symbol?. I would expect an incorrect symbol to show a warning or error such as an invalid symbol result. I've tried the demo with the space symbol but the results make no difference. Then, what is its function?

If you enter a symbol that is not on the list, it won't be recognized as a symbol but won't be considered wrong either. The character will be treated as a normal lowercase letter.

This has been bothering me for a while. There should be a mode, if not the standard, where all non-alphabetic characters are considered as symbols.

As a French speaker, all accented letters should be treated as symbols (é, è, ê, ë...).

@deanilvincent what do you think?

Ah i see, will be affected to contains array value. Thanks @Ennoriel.

Agreed, it needs to be considered as symbols if it is non-alphabetic.

Hi @Ennoriel & @alfangr , thank you for bringing this up. The package is currently support common symbols

check-password-strength/src/index.js

Line 28 in b01538b

const passwordStrength = (password, options = defaultOptions, allowedSymbols = "!\"#\$%&'\(\)\*\+,-\./:;<=>\?@\[\\\\\\]\^_`\{|\}~") => {

Having new symbols is actually a good feature suggestion. This will also broaden the reach of our package. We can also include different symbols from different languanges like Hebrew, Chinese, Arabic, Russian etc. We can make a PR for that :)
