Suggestion Security Assessment Report
how about a feature which lets you detect some well known security risks?
the following things are examples:
* the user could be warned if the same password is reused in multiple accounts
* if the passwords expose an obvious pattern (e.g having an enumerated pre- or postfix)
* if the passwords are trivially related to the account (i.e admin:admin or admin:nimda, ...)
extra points for including an estimate how long a password likely would resist a brute force attack on common hardware.
this could help in the interpretation of the color-coded strength bars.
your happy customer,

Hi cmbntr, welcome to the forums! Thanks for the feedback!
Those are interesting suggestions. I'd be interested to hear what the devs have to say about that.0
