- Select a particular record and click on 'Edit' which will display the password
strength.
- Password Strength is just an indicator to display the password score.
- This does not really tell you the *strength* of the password. Use this only
as an indicator to judge how secure is the password you typed. Even when it
displays 100%, it does not mean that this password is strong. Please see below
to understand more on how the password strength is calculated.
- Following is the logic, which is followed to calculate the strength of the
password.
- A total of 10 points ( 0 points = 0% of password strength. 10 points
= 100% of password strength. )
- Minimum of 2 points for all passwords
- If the password has both letters and numbers, it gets 1 additional point.
- If the password has a number which, is not in last position, it gets
1 additional point.
- If the password has both lower case and upper case, it gets 1 additional
point.
- If the password has an upper case which, is not in first position, it
gets 1 additional point.
- If the password has a special character, it gets 2 additional points.
- If the length of the password at least 8 characters, it gets 2 additional
points.
