Reference: Passwords-Strength

It is important that your passwords have sufficient Password Strength or combinations of Numbers, Letters and special symbols that make it difficult to guess. You can test a password against the conditions we find useful to measure Password Strength with by entering it below:

Test Your Password				Minimum Requirements
Password				Minimum 8 characters in length Contains 3/4 of the following items: - Uppercase Letters - Lowercase Letters - Numbers - Symbols
Score	0
Strength	Too Short
Additions				Type	Rate	Count	Bonus
	Number of Characters			Flat	+(n*4)
	Uppercase Letters			Cond/Incr	+((len-n)*2)
	Lowercase Letters			Cond/Incr	+((len-n)*2)
	Numbers			Cond	+(n*4)
	Symbols			Flat	+(n*6)
	Middle Numbers or Symbols			Flat	+(n*2)
	Requirements			Flat	+(n*2)
Deductions				Type	Rate	Count	Bonus
	Letters Only			Flat	-n
	Numbers Only			Flat	-n
	Repeat Characters (Case Insensitive)			Incr	-(n(n-1))
	Consecutive Uppercase Letters			Flat	-(n*2)
	Consecutive Lowercase Letters			Flat	-(n*2)
	Consecutive Numbers			Flat	-(n*2)
	Sequential Letters (3+)			Flat	-(n*3)
	Sequential Numbers (3+)			Flat	-(n*3)
