Password strength checker

Test the strength of your passwords. Mine for the blog was 66%, but two minor modifications raised it to 86%. Worth doing.

    Hmm… how strong is a password that you blithely type into a website whose ownership control you’re not familiar with? :)

    I doubt the site is doing anything nefarious, but it’s trivial for them to capture both your IP address and password. Given a little packet-sniffing elbow grease, it wouldn’t be incredibly difficult for them to determine who you are and what websites you tend to use.
