Telepathwords: A New Password Strength Estimator

Telepathwords is a pretty clever research project that tries to evaluate password strength. It's different from normal strength meters, and I think better.

Telepathwords tries to predict the next character of your passwords by using knowledge of:

• common passwords, such as those made public as a result of security breaches
• common phrases, such as those that appear frequently on web pages or in common search queries
• common password-selection behaviors, such as the use of sequences of adjacent keys

Password-strength evaluators have generally been pretty poor, regularly assessing weak passwords as strong (and vice versa). I like seeing new research in this area.
