Password strength indicator shows "Terrible" for 20 character random password

jasimon9 · November 2020

The password above has a random 20-character string. I suspect some of the special characters might be confusing your algorithm. Embedded in the string are the two sequences "H<p" and "q$t" (without the quotes).

So I did an experiment. I replaced "H<p" with "Hap". After saving it, the rating changed to "Fantastic".

So just pointing out this flaw in your algorithm.

Hi @jasimon9

I suspect that changing the password in any way would've caused the rating to be re-evaluated. The information here may help:
