Yes, lets teach users to type their passwords into "checking" tools. Great.
edit: on the plus side, "CONGRATULATIONS!
It would take about 2546476408336 years to crack your password."
(I typed in a password that was roughly equivalent to a very secure and memorable one I memorised but have never found a use for. It's a correcthorsebatterystaple style password.)

- dllthomas 13y agoIf you want to maximize entropy, you want to avoid collisions. Say we're taking strings of one or two words, picked randomly. With spaces, there's an equal chance of any string that can be generated. Without spaces, "therapist" has twice the chance of the typical string, which is some information an attacker could exploit.
