Password cracking in your organization

How do you know your users aren’t using easy to guess passwords? You rely on your Operating system/Active Directory password complexity requirements. You force users to create passwords with Upper case, lower case, number and maybe even a special characters. You can even make the minimum number of characters be 8 or 9 or even more.

This is not enough. Look at this password, you may even have used it:

ZAQ!1qaz

This password complies with all the requirements
