Check How Secure Your Password is with Microsoft Tool

Passwords are an important part of our online life. They are the keys to our online homes and it is important to make sure we do not misplace them or allow them to fall into the hands of untrustworthy people.

I have different passwords for different services and often use LastPass to manage my passwords across different websites.

All these tools to save passwords can be handy only if your password is actually a good one and cannot be easily guessed. Microsoft has a nice online tool which shows if the password you are choosing is strong or weak.
