Password strength meter is inconsistent (again)
Hello! I imported a number of passwords from both LastPass and Bitwarden, including some duplicates account credentials. Although the credentials are identical, the password strength meter and words don't match. The older LastPass import seems has a higher grade and is often one word-grade better (Very Good vs Excellent, Fair vs Good). The only difference is the LastPass data was imported three months ago, and Bitwarden more recently.
Why would the same imported password -> different ratings? (PS: The "modified" date seems to have impact, and I just happened to have selected a very old entry which still has "http" vs "https" for the URL; that's also
not the issue.)
I've read this related discussion that suggests manually editing the password can make a difference, but that doesn't apply here. https://1password.community/discussion/136928/password-strength-ratings

Hello @GreyM1P, thank you for asking. Built In for LastPass (I believe this was relatively new feature in January?) and MrC script for Bitwarden.
However, this is probably irrelevant now, since I'm locked out of my vault and it takes 17 hours to get a reply from support that asks questions provided in my initial report. Doesn't look good.... #CIU-87715-273

I'm sorry for the delay. I see that you're now in an active conversation with my colleagues over email, please continue that discussion there.
I've also left a note for my colleagues to look into the password rating inconsistency with you once you're able to log in again. Since we have a communications channel open over email I'm closing this thread.
