Suggestion Security Assessment Report

how about a feature which lets you detect some well known security risks?



the following things are examples:

* the user could be warned if the same password is reused in multiple accounts

* if the passwords expose an obvious pattern (e.g having an enumerated pre- or postfix)

* if the passwords are trivially related to the account (i.e admin:admin or admin:nimda, ...)



extra points for including an estimate how long a password likely would resist a brute force attack on common hardware.

this could help in the interpretation of the color-coded strength bars.



your happy customer,

    Hi cmbntr, welcome to the forums! Thanks for the feedback!



    Those are interesting suggestions. I'd be interested to hear what the devs have to say about that.

    cmbntr,



    That's a really interesting idea, and I can certainly see the value in it. 1Password does a great job of helping users save their logins, but at the end of the day if you use the same password, or weak passwords, for the site you save, you aren't really getting the full benefit of 1Password. We've seen a few requests for how we can help users improve the security of their passwords and maybe these ideas can play a part in that. While I can't say for certain if and when we'd be able to add this I'll certainly add it to the list of features users would like to see.



    Thanks again for the feedback, we really appreciate it!
