How accurate are password strength testers?
So, password meters are not a reliable guide to how likely it is that your password will be cracked but they do seem to nudge people in the direction of creating stronger passwords in general.
How does a password strength meter work?
A password's strength is measured according to predefined rules and is displayed using a horizontal scale next to the input field. If the password is weak then only a small portion of the horizontal bar is highlighted.
How you can measure the strength of the password and give its example?
Two factors determine a password's strength: length and complexity. A password's length is determined by the number of characters in the password. For example, the password asdf1234 has a length of eight characters. Most cPanel & WHM passwords require a minimum password length.
