Afin de contrôler la force de vos mot de passe, il existe un outil en ligne fourni par le bureau du préposé à la protection des données du canton de Zürich. L’outils ce trouve ici:
In order to assess your password strength there is an online tool given by the bureau of data protection of Zurich Canton. You can found this tool at this URL:

As an example, the time to brut force find a password as « Coca-cola 25 » is about 25 days, « 123456 » is less than 1 second, a birthday as « 16041996 » is also under the second. Compared to some that have been created using a password generator:
- only letters : « bzyzzkfw » -> 1 hour
- with lower and upper chars : « FCmGUWYQ » -> 9 minutes
- with numbers in : « n2fgQdyv » -> 1 day
- with special chars in : « c<F?8JM] » -> 1 day
- and longer password with all that (10 figures): « 9Cqe]f^>tu » -> 39 ans
- or a story password like: « Outreach8-Unending7-Pesky5-Tinsel3-Squeeze0 » -> several million years
Or your own story:
reference Einstein quote: « Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe »
password: « 2Things-Rinfinite-universe-Hstupidity » -> several million years
Or having the 1st letter of a quote you remember like (Requiem pour un con – Serge Gainsbourg):
« Ecoute les orgues. Elles jouent pour toi. Il est terrible cet air là. J’espère que tu aimes. C’est assez beau non. C’est le requiem pour un con »
Which gives : « EoEjptIetcal » -> 20’904 years
You can also use substitution with similar characters. The above password will become:
« EoEjptIetcal » -> « E03jp*l5c4l » -> 3’943 years
I hope this give you ideas on hoe to generate some better password. As a reminder, in a near future we will have to handle more complexe and more confidential datas and we need to level up our security to the max of the state of the art.
