Does Monster Password store my password?
Can I trust Password Monster on mobile?
Is it safe to use the same password on multiple sites?
So, I am looking at updating our password policy for my org and I know a lot of focus is on length over complexity nowadays, and I was trying to put together some helpful tips for users on choosing passphrases instead of passwords and I wanted to give them a resource to play with so they could see the difference and I saw some of these password strength meters mentioned, but they seem to throw vastly different results which I think as an end user would confuse me if I was really choosing a secure password.
For example, a phrase like "Ihaveareallybighouse!" is 21 characters with upper, lower, and special characters and https://www.security.org/how-secure-is-my-password/ says it would take "1 hundred quintillion years" to crack whereas passwordmonster.com says it would take 3 days lol.
I'm just wondering do you have any tools you trust to give to end users to help them make sure they are choosing good passwords?
I'm talking specifically about kaspersky password checker, my1login password checker, and how secure is my password.
Example password: AXEaRX6uYHmj (randomly generated 12-character pw by 1Password)
Bitwarden's strength testing tool estimates: "strong / 3 years" to crack your pw
vs.
Passwordmonster's strength testing tool estimates: "62 thousand years".
This is just an example but you get the point: there's a bit of a difference between 3 yrs vs 62k years using the exact same password. Can anyone help explain this to a non-security person?
