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 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.

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

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)
