- First commit to issue fork.
Password cracking tools contain lists of commonly used passwords, we should warn users that some passwords are too weak to be of use. Motivation is that currently the password "password" is ranked as fair by the checker tool.
This patch integrates Drupal with a third party (MIT licensed) library for password strength checking. The library is zxcvbn.
Password strength meter will reflect a better approximation of how long it would take to brute force the password, e.g. the following things will be checked:
n/a
So while at the code sprint today I noticed when you type the word, "password", as your password it marks that as "Fair" - Luckily I happened to be sitting with Jakub and greggles was in earshot so we thought maybe based on this report to the security team (See http://drupal.org/node/454014#comment-5743806), it might be worth checking for a list of common words.

It is used for security vulnerabilities which do not need a security advisory. For example, security issues in projects which do not have security advisory coverage, or forward-porting a change already disclosed in a security advisory. See Drupal’s security advisory policy for details. Be careful publicly disclosing security vulnerabilities! Use the “Report a security vulnerability” link in the project page’s sidebar. See how to report a security issue for details.
It makes Drupal less vulnerable to abuse or misuse. Note, this is the preferred tag, though the Security tag has a large body of issues tagged to it. Do NOT publicly disclose security vulnerabilities; contact the security team instead. Anyone (whether security team or not) can apply this tag to security improvements that do not directly present a vulnerability e.g. hardening an API to add filtering to reduce a common mistake in contributed modules.
