Aka. Password Randomness

Luaisbetter.com
I hate Java, I really do

/Password Entropy
- (Noun) A measurement of a password’s randomness

E = log2(RL)

E stands for password entropy.

R stands for possible characters within the password.
L stands for the number of characters in your password.

E > 72 is good 👍

I tried to research but it
was too hard. When you take a string and
turn it into another value
I didn’t use code hashing for easier sorting
in my work lol.

/What makes a good password (according to me)

/Have high entropy /Length

High entropy makes Longer Password makes it
the code harder to harder to brute force
guess (the time increases
exponentially)

/Variety in character /Not Common

Increases Entropy Not common lol

/The most basic methods to calculate Entropy

/“A good entropy can shrink and grow” - Mozart

4 types of characters:
1. Lowercase Characters 26 letters
2. Uppercase Characters 26 letters Other initialized variables
3. Symbols 34 symbols
4. Numbers 10 numbers

- Break the loop whenever the password doesn’t

- This will prevent the program to check for other

criteria if one of the previous ones isn’t valid

length affects the entropy.
