Password Checker - Instructions and Disclaimer

This application is designed to help you assess the strength of your passwords. The instantaneous visual feedback will provide you with a means to improve the strength of your passwords. Since there is no official system for gauging the strength of passwords we have used formulas based on common guidelines to create this application. It is neither perfect nor foolproof and should only be used as a guide in determining methods for improving the password creation process.
