Entry security analyzer

The Entry Security Analyzer evaluates the strength of passwords stored in the data source.

A strength password control is also displayed under most password fields of entries.

The Entry Security Analyzer follows a set of rules to determine the strength of the password with a score from 0 to 100. There are two categories of rules.
