Creating a strong password, testing it with online strength checkers, and then preparing a report with the results, explanations, and best practices.

1. Create Multiple Passwords

We’ll make 4–5 passwords of varying complexity so we can compare their strengths.

Example set:

1. zshan123 (weak – simple and predictable)
2. Zshan@2025 (medium – includes upper/lowercase, numbers, symbol)
3. A!$han_20!5@TMU (strong – complex, mix of characters, uncommon pattern)
4. R0bust!P@ssw0rd_98 (very strong – long, random elements, symbol variety)
5. t!G0X@7_PwrMstr#99 (extremely strong – random, long, no dictionary words)

2. Test on Password Strength Tools

We can test them on:

• https://passwordmeter.com
• https://www.security.org/how-secure-is-my-password/
• https://lastpass.com/password-strength

We’ll record:

• Strength score
• Estimated crack time
• Feedback

3. Analyze & Write Report

Results Table:

Password	Strength Score (%)	Estimated Crack Time	Feedback
zshan123	10%	<1 second	Too short, common, dictionary word
Zshan@2025	60%	Hours–days	Better, but still predictable pattern
A!$han_20!5@TMU	85%	Decades	Good complexity, unique structure
R0bust!P@ssw0rd_98	92%	Centuries	Strong, but slight dictionary influence
t!G0X@7_PwrMstr#99	100%	Millions of years	Excellent – random, long, mixed types

4. Best Practices Learned

• Use at least 12–16 characters.
• Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
• Avoid dictionary words, names, dates.
• Use passphrases (random words + numbers + symbols).
• Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
• Consider password managers for unique passwords.
