'my name is' (good) (10 chars)
'bacon4eva!' (strong) (10 chars)
'hamncheese.' (strong) (10 chars)
'GoPatriots!' (strong) (11 chars)
'hey, you!' (good) (8 chars)
'8crayons.' (good) (9 chars)
'latte2015' (good) (9 chars)


I tried making up some passwords in Anaconda in F21, which uses the same library. I had a difficult time making a password rated less than good when I made passwords that were 10 characters with only lowercase letters and no spaces or special characters. Add spaces, a punctuation mark, or caps and it is instantly easier. I had a much harder time making a new acceptable password for my Twitter account.

Is the concern that 10 chars is too long?
