How do you wish to measure goodness?

Do you intend to use an https connection or some other means to avoid having your user's password sent out over the internet in cleartext?

I see no purpose to such a sight, why would anyone risk the security of their own information by giving you there password? Than can just log into the other site themselves and if their password isn't correct the site will almost undoubtedly provide a way to reset it or send out a password reminder.

What value does you system add?

Do you mean that you want to check if this is the correct password that unlocks the other site; or do you mean that you want to check if the entered string would make a good password (for example, more than 6 characters, mix of letters and numbers, etc)?

By definition, the site you wish to set up is a Trojan Horse for the other site. You may have the best intentions, but I'm not comfortable helping you.

If this is a school assignment then I recommend you make the instructor aware of these concerns. He might decide to alter the assignment to achieve his teaching goals without teaching the students how to write malware.
