It seems WordPress currently measure password strength only on basis of password length. It can be stronger on basis of following credentials:

  1. Length ( nine will be ok)
  2. Uppercase case character ( one will be ok )
  3. Lowercase character
  4. Number
  5. A password should not be start and end with space.
  6. Special Character

Welcome back to Trac @ravinderk

We actually use ​Dropbox's zxcvbn library for the password strength meter, it does seems strange that demo demo demo is marked as strong though!

@dd32 Yes, that's strange.

This was fixed in zxcvbn 3.5.0, WordPress uses 1.0.0.

We've been needing to update for a while, see #31647.
