Williams Passphrase Strength Meter - A visual assessment of passphrase strengths and weaknesses

VERY IMPORTANT - make this passphrase unique! Do not let this passphrase be the same as one you have used anywhere else whether it's your banking, shopping or even your local library.

In the new system you MUST:

Have a passphrase at least 12 characters long. Try using a passphrase consisting of more than one word for added security and to make it easier to remember.
Include at least one lower case letter
Include at least one upper case letter, preferably in the middle of the phrase.
Include at least one number, also preferably in the middle of the phrase.

We STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you also:

Include a special character
Don't just use simple words, add numbers and upper case letters
Don't use names of people or pets in the passphrase as these can be more easily guessed by hackers
