MS has one on their website for public use. It is pretty cool :

Your password never gets sent to any server for checking. And if you use any other web based utility make sure it is not sending any anything to a server on the internet. Otherwise they might be collecting your passwords....
I would recommend implementing a in-house as you have have keep on updating it....

Hello all,
I was wondering if your organization deploys any password quality checking tool to help users select policy-compliant passwords? Be it web-based or client based. I am thinking what type of requirements do you use to select such tools, and what are the examples out there?
My thoughts: 1) It should not store the user's passwords (be it pass or fail) 2) It should be able to handle complexity rules (or align with Windows GPO) 3) It should also work with Unix/Linux passwords
Thanks, JW
