Passwords

How in the world does SecurePass decide that 2 passwords with 10 characters including upper/lower case, digits, 2 special characters are POOR passwords? Another one with identical parameters is classified as weak. I can use them, but Security Check tells me they are weak or poor,

Hello,

Bitdefender SecurePass includes a Security Report that evaluates your stored passwords, identifying:

• Breached passwords
  
• Weak passwords
  
• Old passwords (used for more than 6 months)
  
• Duplicate passwords

Weak passwords are identified based on an internal algorithm that evaluates password length, use of different character types (letters, numbers, symbols) and inclusion of digits and uppercase letters. Any password that fails these criteria will be flagged under the Weak section. For detailed instructions and more information about passwords, please refer to the following article:
