AJAX or Javascript for password validation?

AJAX or Javascript for password validation?


I have always used Javascript for this, and found it to be fine. I am on a project which has used AJAX for that validation. Is this to simplify multi-lingual development?


What pros and cons are there to using AJAX versus Javascript?


Is there any security benefit or drawback to using AJAX versus Javascript?


Thanks

Thanks. How about new spoken language support? Does that become easier with a server solution, also?
It would help a lot of you provide more details as to what you mean.

When you say Javascript vs Ajax and "I have always used Javascript for this, and found it to be fine. " are you referring to having a static password, the same for everybody and using javascript only on the client side to test for authentication?  I would hope not. What you may mean by javascript may be different than what is being interpreted. So details are important.

Same for what you mean by the "new spoken language support".  Is this interpreting the voice like a fingerprint? or do you mean somebody is using voice commands on their laptop/desktop or a voice keyboard on their mobile device?  The former would suggest you are using a backend API and the later would mean words are typed as if you used a keyboard and in that case, there is nothing new to do.
