Password Quality Indicator
Password Quality Indicator
Is it very important to know that the use of strong encryption algorithm is
not enough!
It is also very important to use strong passwords.
Good pasword must contain many different characters, digits and different
case letters..

AEP has special PQ (Password Qualtity, Weakness)
indicator for this purpose. It helps you to see the qualtity of used
password.
AEP thinks that typed password is strong if:
· |
It is long (at least 10 characters) |
· |
Using digits together with letters |
· |
Using special characters (!@<> etc) |
· |
Using letters of different case ( ex.:
aAqwE) |
· |
Using notprinted symbols (typed in binary
editor) |
It is also highly recommended to activate special option "Load common
passwords list" (Menu/Options/Interface).
The password quality indicator will become red if you use password from common
passwords list (the list contains about 40,000 common passwords used by hackers
in brute force attacks). For example this list contains such bad passwords, like
"123", "qwe", "mama", "world", "john", "matrix" and etc.
