here is an entire password class/control
allows you to enter or generate a password that meets selectable criteria
Thanks Kem and Dave.

I have need of this, but the link from Kem doesn’t seem to be working, any ideas?
Its been a while., but did you check mine?
Kem,
When I try to unzip it, I just end up with a .cpgz file, is there something that I am missing?
Admittedly I haven’t, but I thought yours was more of a password generator, what I want is a checker to make sure that a user entered password complies with the requirements.

I don’t know what to say about that, it unzips fine here. Anyone else?
Downloaded and unpacked fine from Dropbox.
Re-packed using a different ZIP tool and mirrored on Xojo.io - see if this helps:

Thank you, that worked and both tools have their merits, I think I am going to integrate both into my code, as I like checking against known passwords as well.
Its basically everything for dealing with password
- Generator
- Strength Analyzer
- Pattern Conformance

Yeah, I see that now, like I said I like elements of both, so I am kind of merging them to make it work for my needs, hope neither of you mind. I am working with something that really does need some decent security on it, so this will be very helpful.
Saw this recently, too, with another downloaded project file. The Archiv Utility included in madOS made a .cpgz file instead of unzipping it. In this case, Unarchiver is the app(lication) working correctly.
Spread this like wildfire.
Does anyone understand the cited math in that column? How does an 11-character password translate to 28 bits of entropy and 28 characters to 44 bits?
Not me, but maybe it’s because it’s a binary logarithm? 
Yes, I saw that, it is one of the reasons that I am modifying both codes to some degree and integrating them together, there are still elements that are good from both, such as you shouldn’t use repeating letters or numbers and the password shouldn’t contain common passwords such as password.
I read that somewhere else and thought “that is nonsense”.
Instead of 10 different random characters out of about 40 you now select 4 or 5 words out of maybe 1,000-10,000 common words?
10^40 vs 10,000^5 aka 10^15
How is that more secure???
