Determining Password Strength Based on Personal Information and Activity

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for providing context-aware password strength evaluation, the instructions, when executed, cause one or more processors to implement steps of:

• receiving a user password, wherein the user password is associated with at least one of a newly created password, an updated password, or an existing password to be analyzed;
• parsing the user password into one or more segments;
• determining, for each segment, discoverability measures relative to personal information associated with the user, wherein the personal information includes at least one of publicly available data or non-public data;
• calculating a context-aware password strength rating based on the discoverability measures of the one or more segments;
• and
• providing feedback to the user regarding the context-aware password strength rating.

A system configured to provide context-aware password strength evaluation, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to
• receive a user password, wherein the user password is associated with at least one of a newly created password, an updated password, or an existing password to be analyzed;
• parse the user password into one or more segments;
• determine, for each segment, discoverability measures relative to personal information associated with the user, wherein the personal information includes at least one of publicly available data or non-public data;
• calculate a context-aware password strength rating based on the discoverability measures of the one or more segments;
• and
• provide feedback to the user regarding the context-aware password strength rating.
