Securing your accounts just got a whole lot easier.
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University's CyLab Usable Privacy and full length porn movies - free watch online and downloadSecurity Laboratory and the University of Chicago have developed a new password meter that educates people on how they can make their password stronger. The project is open source and can be added on to existing services.

While passwords themselves can be bypassed, it's still important to keep passwords strong to protect against brute force attacks, which is when hackers try guessing your password over and over until they're successful.
The password meter aims to motivate people to use better passwords by educating them about why their passwords are weak and providing suggestions about what they can do to make them stronger.
The idea of a password meter is not completely new, many websites have begun offering feedback about password strength. Here's Google's for instance, with the password "mashable2017":

The meter states: "Don't use words used on Wikipedia," "avoid using dates like 2017," and also provides a better option. Each of the reasons can be expanded to learn more.

"For example, if you change Es to 3s in your password, that’s not going to fool an attacker. The meter will explain about how prevalent that substitution is and offer advice on what to do instead,” said Blase Ur, the study's lead author, in a statement.
The site also features a guide for creating strong passwords:
