I found this interesting tool to see how strong my password is because there are many bad folks out there these days.

Could be a nice tool. But who knows where the data goes after you enter your password. The guy seems to collect passwords and compose into a list.

But to his defence, I'm paranoid when it comes down to passwords. And I could be completely wrong.
Maybe something to consider on dev site though!

Yeah, great idea because it would take about 52 seconds to crack some passwords easily.
You guys should try password managers and have them generate random passwords.
Also, ensure your not using the same exact password on multiple websites.
I recommend lastpass as its free and easy to use.
Good Luck,
