This project is a password checker to ensure the strength of passwords used in real world applications. I wanted to test the length of 4, 8, and 12-character passwords that use the common requirements of capitalization, numbers and special characters. The original condition for a strong password was to not be cracked in under 8 seconds and 10 attempts but was extended to 60 seconds and 10,000,000 attempts to further test the strength of the password. This code allows you to test multiple passwords for the dedicated lengths and informs you if the password is a strong one or not. There are notes in the script that allows you to test the password in a different way, such as using all symbols instead of the listed ones or to use a different version of checker that is more methodical. The methodical way checks from "aaaa" to "zzzz" and adds number combinations as well.

This project tests the strength of passwords created with common password requirements such as capital letters, special characters, and numbers. Success will be dependent on 2 factors: time it takes to crack and number of attempts. For a successful password, it must not be cracked in less than 8 seconds and 10 attempts.
