Presumably, people actually wanted to set those passwords, and passwdqc's default policy only permits for a small minority of the passwords to be set. This means that among passwords that people like to choose there are few that are good enough, at least as far as passwdqc can estimate. What's not so good, although is mostly not passwdqc's fault, is that the percentage stays rather low even for the entire RockYou list. ![]() The substantial increase in percentages of permitted passwords between 100,000 and 1,000,000, and between 1,000,000 and 10,000,000 are also good, indicating that less common passwords are indeed also less trivial and are harder to crack, as far as passwdqc can estimate. ![]() The very small percentages of permitted passwords for top 100,000 and top 1,000,000 are good: they indicate that the policy is working well, preventing those common and thus weak passwords from being set.
