Entropy meter for the password/passphrase generator

@Mihails Welcome to the forum!

Your feature request is reasonable (and may have already been proposed previously — if I find an equivalent thread, I will merge yours*); however, if you (or anyone else reading this) simply wants the numbers, they are:

Token Pool Number of Tokens Entropy
Passphrase Words 7776 12.92 bits/token
Uppercase Letters (all) 26 4.70 bits/token
Lowercase Letters (all) 26 4.70 bits/token
Numbers (all) 10 3.32 bits/token
Uppercase Letters (unambiguous) 24 4.58 bits/token
Lowercase Letters (unambiguous) 25 4.64 bits/token
Numbers (unambiguous) 8 3.00 bits/token
Special Characters 8 3.00 bits/token

 


*Edit: I merged your request into this old feature request thread, which is essentially asking for the same thing. Over the years, others have also requested this type of functionality, but at the time, mods saw fit to merge all feature requests related to the Password Generator into a single “mega-thread” (and you will recognize your suggestion as the final bullet point in OP’s top post there):

More Password Generator Enhancements (Comprehensive List)

Personally, I think it was a mistake to merge all of those distinct requests, since it confounds discussion and voting (i.e., users may agree with some of the proposed features, but disagree with others). Hopefully, your Feature Request can remain distinct from the mega-thread.
