slowfoxThis Password Strength Checker is an interesting tool.
It uses Google's javascript urchin.js to determine the strength of a password, based on the number of characters, whether or not you're using mixed case, letters, non-alpha-numerics and the like.
Obviously you don't feed it your real password (unless you're feeling particularly brave - it's running a script that's hosted on a different server!), but if you pass it constructs that are similar in nature, it'll give you a rough idea of how secure Google thinks that particular algorithm might be.
