/Password
Entropy
Aka. Password Randomness
Luaisbetter.com
/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 👍

/Code Hashing
/Idk what is code Hashing /I kind of get it, in a way

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.

How to make a good password :)

/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

4 types of characters:

/How I structured my loop
I:
- Set up a while (true) loop
- Break the loop whenever the password doesn’t
meet one of my requirements

/How I structured my loop
Why?
- This will prevent the program to check for other

criteria if one of the previous ones isn’t valid

Is it a common Does it include
Is the password

a common one? special characters? characters?
4. Entropy? 5. Repetition? 6. No Spaces

enough? letters?

<NO SPACES>

/No Spaces
I want to make my life easier (no space bar in password)

Mr. Task
/Is it a common
password?
Thank you Mr.Task for the code :D
Luaisbetter.com
/Common Password
I just borrow Mr.Task’s code

(with some change tho)
Changes:
- Return boolean (for ease of use)
- Name Change
- Longer List (999,999 words)

/Is it a common

No substitutions

Some people substitute symbols for letters.
Example/
- p@ssw0rd
- $uperun!dentifi@ble
- Etc.

Here’s how I handled that

I made another string that substitutes any
special characters (I only included a few tho)

/All Characters?
Does it contains every type of

characters?

/Include all characters

Must have AT LEAST

1 Lowercase

We already went through this
Since you get disqualified for not having every type of character, only
length affects the entropy.

Checks for every type of characters

- Uses points to grade points/4
- Check for repeating characters types (deduct points
for repeating)
- Use String to grade character types
Luaisbetter.com
/Draft 1
Use passConst to capture
character types (My first
hashcode implementation)
Ex/
Password = Mypass@123
passConst = ulllllsnnn
//Grade points based on
