FAQ

What does entropy in bits mean?

It is the base-2 logarithm of the number of guesses needed; each extra bit doubles the search space.

Is the password sent anywhere?

No. It is evaluated in the page.

Why does a long but simple password score well?

Length dominates in the entropy model; use the weak-password checker to catch dictionary patterns.
