Assessing your password strength Using strong passwords for logon to your websites and programs is an important aspect of protecting your identity. Password Manager makes monitoring and improving your security easy with instant and automated analysis of the strength of each of the passwords used to log on to your websites and programs. On the Password Strength tab, red, yellow, or green status indicators illustrate the strength of individual passwords used for websites and applications, as well as the overall password strength. Password Manager icon settings Password Manager attempts to identify logon screens for websites and programs. When it detects a logon screen for which you have not created a logon, Password Manager prompts you to add a logon for the screen by displaying the Password Manager icon with a plus sign. 1.
