OWASP Passfault
OWASP Passfault evaluates the strength of passwords accurately enough to predict the time to crack. It makes creating passwords and password policies significantly more intuitive and simple.

Introduction

 * Accurate : Measures the size of password patterns and identifies more weak passwords, yet allows strong passwords that don't match traditional password policies
 * Informative : Provides detailed analysis of the password and sub patterns within the password, so users quickly learn how to make strong passwords without training.
 * Simple : Presents the password strength as the "time to crack" to help communicate the risk of poor paswords, providing the incentive to create stronger passwords.
 * Powerful : Empowers administrators to know and control the strength and risk of the organization's passwords.

Description
When setting a password, OWASP Passfault examines the password, looking for common patterns. It than measures the size of the patterns and combinations of patterns. The end result is a more academic and accurate measurement of password strength.

When setting a password policy, OWASP Passfault simplifies configuration to one simple meaningful measurement: the number of passwords found in the password patterns. This measurement is made more intuitive and meaningful with an estimated time to crack.
