Is Your Twitter Password Secure?

A handy little tool to check whether your twitter password is secure or not! Genius! When you arrive at the site, you are greeted with the following:

“It’s a scary world right now, guys. Your Twitter password can cause the Dow Jones to drop nearly 150 points and compel dozens of blogs to write breathless posts about the future of online journalism. You should be worried.

In order to help everyone out a little, we’ve created an algorithm that will examine your password and tell you if it’s secure enough. Spoiler alert: it isn’t.“

If that doesn’t make you want to check your password out using their algorithm, then I don’t know what would! Very useful, very useful indeed…

    Or are they recording your password? Beware of sites such as this.
