Thanks for the suggestion! 1Password uses a two step process to calculate password strength:
- We use zxcvbn to calculate the order of magnitude of the number of estimated guesses it would take to crack that password.
- We then map the result from step 1 to our own score with higher being a stronger password.
This creates a password strength classification that tells you whether you should change the password to something stronger. While I'm not aware of any plans to add an entropy calculator/notification, I've passed your feedback along to the team internally.
