4 of the top 10 password strength tools are giving people bad password advice, and they don’t care.::Think your password is strong? Ever trusted a password strength tool online (or maybe you don’t trust anything)? You might be surprised to see how far off the mark some of the most popular password strength tools are.
Don’t trust those online password strength checkers, send them to me instead.

No no my password isn’t “the worst one could choose”, good try though

Just put it in an envelope outside your door with your username, phone number, email address and mother’s maiden name. I’ll stop by in the morning and pick it up and let you know by the weekend
Don’t worry, it’s just as secure as using a reply

Contacting the Tool Maintainers
The organisations that maintain these tools might not be aware of modern password cracking techniques so I contacted them so they could make any necessary changes.
security.org - email sent 20/09/23 [. . .]Unfortunately, none of them have responded thus far.
lmao
Well I hope they read your email so they can find out about things we’ve known about passwords for 20 years or more. That oughta fix it.
