# 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.

{% tabs %}

![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/RDMW0026_2024_2.png)

The 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.

#### Reinforce

These are the rules which make the passwords stronger:

* The password length
* The number of uppercase letters (A-Z)
* The number of lowercase letters (a-z)
* The number of digits (0-9)
* The number of symbols (!, @, #, $, etc.)
* The number of digits or symbols in the middle of the password
* Three or more of the rules above are met

The minimum requirements for a strong password are:

* The password is at least 5 characters long
* The password contains uppercase and lowercase characters
* The password contains digits

#### Weakening

These are the rules which make the passwords weaker:

* The password contains only letters
* The password contains only digits
* The password has repeated characters
* The password has consecutive uppercase letters (two or more)
* The password has consecutive lowercase letters (two or more)
* The password has consecutive digits (two or more)
* The password has sequential letters (ABCD, DCBA)
* The password has sequential digits (1234, 4321)

### Settings
