Password Strength Checker Project Report

The project titled 'Password Strength Checker' aims to develop a tool that evaluates and classifies password strength while educating users on creating stronger passwords. Utilizing Python and various libraries, the tool assesses passwords based on criteria such as length, character variety, and avoidance of common patterns. The project successfully enhances user awareness of password security and suggests future enhancements like integration with password managers and AI-based analysis.
