Domino® measures a password's strength and security according to the level assigned on its password quality scale. The scale ranges from Weak to Strong or from 0 (lowest - no password required) to 16 (highest). For more information about the password quality scale, see "Understanding the password quality scale" in Administering the Domino® System.
