Password strength ratings

Hi @aldrozd, I'm glad to hear that particular mystery has been solved! If you run into any further questions during your experimenting, don't hesitate to reach back out 😄

That was my error leaving out the "r" when I retyped it. I will have to do some more experimenting.
Thanks!

Hi @TurtleCurse7! Thanks for testing this out and letting us know your findings 😄 it definitely seems as if the additional r in one of the passwords is making all of the difference here. @aldrozd, do the password ratings match if you remove the first r from the password in Login111a?

Well this is awkward...

I tried to recreate, but could not. After more careful inspection of the two login entries, the password rating of "good" shows up for FowardsBlacken9! and a rating of "fair" shows up for ForwardsBlacken9!. The "fair" password includes the letter r which probably gets a lower score because of a dictionary lookup.

So this was definitely an issue of "problem exists between chair and keyboard" on my part. Sorry about that!

I'm also seeing the letter r in the latest screen grabs from @aldrozd.

Hi Dave,

1. I am creating Login Items
2. I am using 1Password for Windows 8.9.13
3. I am viewing it in 1Password for Windows, the same place I created it.
4. I am typing in the password and not using copy and paste.

See attachments.

Thank you,
Alex

@aldrozd and @TurtleCurse7

I created two Login Item using the 1Password 8 for Mac app and typed FowardsBlacken9! into the password field for both items:

Both are labeled as Good.

Can you confirm the following:

1. That you're creating Login Items rather than Password Items.
2. That you're creating the new items using the 1Password 8 for Mac app.
3. That you're viewing the password strength in the 1Password 8 for Mac app and not another location such as 1Password.com
4. That you're typing the password into both items and you're not using copy and paste anywhere.

I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂

I tried Alex's experiment and see the same thing he is. Using 1Password for Mac 8.9.13 (80913040).

Hi Dave,
Have you found out anything yet?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Dave,

The Excellent was imported. I typed it in exactly the same.

But here is what I just did to prove a point. I just created a new login and typed in "FowardsBlacken9!" and it was given a "Good" rating. Than I created another login and typed in the same exact password and now it is given a "Fair" rating.

Doesn't make sense. Try it yourself.

Also, why doesn't this conversation show up in the Forums anywhere?

Thanks,

Alex

@aldrozd

Thank you for the reply. Was the Excellent password generated by 1Password or was it imported from LastPass? And when you typed that Excellent password into a new item did you change anything or was it exactly the same as the password in the original item?

I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂
