onlyican Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I dont beleive in Password Strength MetersI think my password is strongish, as nobody knows itSome sites says Very StrongSome sites says Very WeakAll I do to check a password isStrip Whitespace (from beg and end)Check its longer than 6 chars (anything less than 6 is just stupid)make the string lower (THey migh accidently type half the password in caps, so when they log in it wont work)StoreThinking about it, One bank I used to use, to log in online, You would need your Passport number, and Pin Code. NOw that aint very secure. (Pins numbers over here in spain and UK are 4 digits) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 but anyways, why wont my meter EVER show a perfect six? following my own rules that the meter was founded on, 6 or more characters, at least one special character and a mix of upper, lower case and didgits... so even #M1ckE4 wont get 6... its got to be a coding bug....only i don't see it... HELP...Mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
