My idea was to balance password entropy and memorability.

Is there some tool I can use to benchmark generated passwords?

Would a state of the art password cracking tool measuring the time to crack a given password be a good idea?

  • Don't look at just entropy, there's password topologies to consider as well, see https://github.com/JohannesBuchner/PasswordTopologies – Swashbuckler Dec 16 '21 at 21:39

    @Swashbuckler: Your comment is wrong, I am sorry to say that. What you name "topologies" are just rules that some users / companies apply. Any rule means more information about the system, which means less entropy. Means, when you are talking about "topologies" you are talking about reducing entropy compared to a random password generator. – mentallurg Dec 16 '21 at 23:23
