And have their password added to a word-list.


There is a site that pretends to do just that, though I can’t find its URL. It asks you to enter your password for strength checking, then takes you to a page saying “estimated strength: 0. Because you have typed the password into an untrusted web page, you must assume it is compromised.”


Has anyone found this? It sounds great, but I couldn't get a URL from googling the obvious stuff. Please post if you know it!

The Terms and Conditions are worthwhile, too.

Superb. Thanks!
