+
+We are excited to announce the integration of a Password Strength Indicator on the Galaxy registration page! This new feature provides real-time feedback to users, helping them create stronger and more secure passwords during the registration process.
+
+## What’s New?
+
+The Password Strength Indicator evaluates the strength of a password as users type, displaying a visual meter and color-coded feedback. 
+By encouraging stronger passwords, we aim to reduce vulnerabilities and enhance account security.
+
+## Why It Matters
+
+* Improved Security: Encourages users to create stronger passwords, reducing the risk of compromised accounts.
+* User-Friendly Experience: Provides clear, actionable feedback without overwhelming users with complex rules.
+* Educational Value: Helps users understand what makes a password secure, promoting better security practices.
+
+## How It Works
+
+The component dynamically assesses password strength based on factors like length, complexity, and uniqueness. It integrates seamlessly into the existing registration workflow, ensuring a smooth and intuitive experience.
