Koolstr27547yIt's judging the security of a password purely via its entropy it seems. That is the proper way to evaluate password strength alongside making sure it is not vulnerable to a dictionary brute force attack. They don't seem to be doing checks for the latter hah - 
				
				@orseji I did once but literally disconnected my router first and restarted the entire browser afterwards xF

				Entropy is an incredibly hard thing to measure accurately - there's many papers dedicated to the subject, and afaik it's generally still considered an open problem.

				The score you get for the length of your passwords matters for this algorithm, i remember a website where you could put in a password and it would check from its rainbow list and try to crack it.

				@meeps uuids still have some structure and a fixed length. A string of random characters is more random and therefore better.
 


that's why I have trust issue
