I've been thinking about standing up the Password Strength Checker tool in TGP 
online, so here it is:

For those not familiar with it, I wanted to come up with a better way of 
classifying what a "strong" password was (and wasn't).  Admins can have 
"complex" password requirements, but they don't equate to any quantifyable 
strength of a password/phrase.  Like with any math-based tool that attempts to 
do the thinking for a person, there are certain assumptions one must make about 
base keyspace derived from a passwords characters, and this is no different.  
However, what IS different is that you can actually get an idea of exactly how 
many iterations it will take to crack both a particular password specifically 
and the keyspace it "lives" in, apply that to actual TIME required to crack it. 
 I like that part, and have found it to be valuable, so here it is in case you 
do as well.   The fully skinny on what I'm doing here can be found at
