I found an interesting web resource to check how is safe or weak a password. You can use this tool in two ways, online opening the passwordmeter website or downloading the Password Meter Package .

From website : This application is designed to assess the strength of password strings. The instantaneous visual feedback provides the user a means to improve the strength of their passwords, with a hard focus on breaking the typical bad habits of faulty password formulation.

In the example below , I tested an easy password : " password " . As you can see the Password Meter gives you a full description about the positive and negative points about this password. Of course this is just an example, but there are some hints about to improve admin and end user passwords.

We have had much success with creating a "Deployment" group within the console and exporting an install package from this group.
