Password testing
Let’s evaluate the strength of one of your current passwords. Just because an attacker steals your password database does not mean he automatically knows your password. He still has to crack it. Creating a strong password can make it impractical for an attacker to crack your password.
Several password strength tools exist online. These tools can help you understand the differences between strong and weak passwords.
Directions
1. Go to http://www.passwordmeter.com/
2. Enter one of the passwords you use on a regular basis with a minor change.
3. Click Submit.
4. Take a screenshot.
5. Take note of the problems with your password (e.g., a number sequence and a dictionary word).
6. Try entering a password you might actually use that you think is strong.
7. Take a screenshot of the results.
Note: Weak passwords are typically easier to remember. However, it is possible to create a strong password that is fairly easy to remember.
8. Go to http://rumkin.com/tools/password/passchk.php
