This is a great question, and I'm glad to hear you want to use us as a guide to help your team improve your password security, even if you aren't using 1Password to store all your credentials. 😀
1Password calculates password strength for passwords that have been manually entered into 1Password using a two step process. First 1Password uses zxcvbn to calculate the order of magnitude of the number of estimated guesses it would take to crack that password (result.guesses_log10). We then map that result to our score, which is a 1-100 value, with higher being a stronger password.
