A good password can mean the difference between identity safety and identify theft. I you are not certain about the strength of your passwords, get the Microsoft Password Checker. This is a free tool. Just type in your password and get an instant strength rating: Weak, Medium, Strong or Best. Microsoft is not secretly collecting passwords for its own evil purposes. The page doesnt record what you type; it generates a response based on the input.
According to password checker, you should aim for minimum of 14 characters and include a mix of numbers, symbols, and both uppercase and lower case letters. Hit on the source link to check your password strength.
Since Microsoft has shutdown this service, we are including another password checker from Kaspersky Lab.
