Funny thing at work, I was handling some legacy users - we need to make sure that on the next login, if they have a weak password, they have to change it.

So the whole day I'm typing "123" as a password, 123 123 123 123 all good. So finally I'm done and now I'm testing it, and accidentally I type 1234 instead of just 123. Doesn't really matter, either is "weak", so I just click "Login".

Then goes Chrome, "1234 is known as a weak password, found in breaches, you should change it".

So TIL 123 is still good.

If you're looking to see how strong a password really is, check it here.

Weird that it asks for your email before you can test your password

"The roman numerals in your password should multiply to 35." Ah crap.

I gave up after the atomic numbers must add up to 200

It's:

Tap for spoilerArrow

Tip: Make it 'Narrow' so you also have an atomic symbol (Na)

Just get a V and a VII in there

NEAL.FUN*ThePasswordGame1 is a good password.
