DISCLAIMER

This application is designed to assess the strength of password strings. The instantaneous visual feedback provides the user a means to improve the strength of their passwords, with a hard focus on breaking the typical bad habits of faulty password formulation. Since no official weighting system exists, Password Meter.Com created their own formulas to assess the overall strength of a given password. Please note, that this application does not utilize the typical "days-to-crack" approach for strength determination. This application is neither perfect nor foolproof, and should only be utilized as a loose guide in determining methods for improving the password creation process.
