PasswordGenerator

How secure is your password? A computer could try to guess your password by using ‘brute force’ – this means trying out lots of passwords until it guesses the right one. Let’s find out how long it would take a computer to guess your password. Go to howsecureismypassword.net, which is a website for finding out how secure your passwords are. Type in “letmein” (Let me in) as the password. You’ll see that a computer would guess this password instantly! You’ll also see some reasons why “letmein” isn’t a good password to use: It’s a very common password (one of the 15 most used passwords). A computer would guess these first. It contains words from the dictionary. A computer would also try these passwords first. It’s very short. It would take a computer more time to guess a longer password. It only contains letters. Passwords are more secure if they also contain numbers and punctuation. That is why I created this program just for your security.
