    'responsive': true,
    'min_length': 8,

    'include': 'foo',
    'include_append': 'right',

</script>
  • container uses responsive design
  • password has a minimum length of 8
  • password has a maximum length of 12
  • 'foo' gets included into every password [again not recommended]
  • 'foo' gets appended on the right
  • no length input field is displayed (results in random number between 8 [inclusive] and 12 [inclusive])
