Assurance

A nice web based one is at

http://rumkin.com/tools/password/passchk.php

There are more than a few of these out there. Plenty of good articles on the math as well, although that is likely less interesting in this forum.

Hi All,

Thank you for attending the discussion on the entropy calculator. It shed a lot of light on its use.

I had some questions about it and would really appreciate it if I could get the general sentiment on this:

1. It is my understanding that the excel-based password entropy calculator tool is doing the math right. In an effort to determine if this tool would be good for the general community (especially anyone applying for a profile in the future), Is this a tool we want to "formalize", publish and maintain?

2. Is there a need and/or desire for a web based GUI front end to the tool? Is the current excel-based version good and convenient enough to be continued in its current form for a wider audience?

I wasn't sure if we reached a concensus on these issues. Any thoughts are welcome.

Regards,
Shreya
