Description
Password (in human and l337 form) is a horrible password. Unless a password is really long, we should mark passwords that contain 'password' as weak.
Test Case : password123 returns Strong

What about all the other weak phrases that people might use? Like say using their username or qwerty or wordpress (I've seen it done) in the password? The strength meter is only a guide and the user should still use some common sense - we can only hold their hand so far.

Replying to solarissmoke:

Perhaps we could include a list of the top 25 (more?) most common passwords, and return "Very Weak" for all of them? I'm not sure what the best compromise between security and code bloat would be here.

Duplicate of #21737.
Actually, closing as a duplicate.
And what about translation of "password" for other languages?
